Design of ship propulsion systems requires a comprehensive understanding in several disciplines. A ship is operating in both calm and harsh weather conditions and a propulsor has to be dimensioned for this. Understanding how propulsors are exposed to various loads, both hydrodynamic loads, as well as control system and engine induced loads are important for life time considerations of mechanical components in propulsion drive lines. Modern tools as multi body system (MBS) simulations are used to find and determine the dynamic properties of drive lines and its components, but all theoretical analyses require verification. To verify a product's performance, it is necessary to perform measurements in the environment where it is meant to operate. A way of achieving and performing measurements an thrusters, as well as an outline about the challenges of multi body system modelling are going to be explained in the following.
