ClassificationTo get an idea of the stability characteristics of a design and the magnitude of the data that needs to be checked, all you want is a quick way to calculate them. Maxsurf supports importing of existing designs from a range of different sources whether it is a IGES model or a paper drawing. From there it is simply a matter of either generating a TriMesh from point data, or fitting a NURB model to the data. This can then be loaded into Hydromax where the analysis data is supported by graphical feedback. Why is Maxsurf used by classification or transport authorities?The Maxsurf Suite consists of a range of design task specific modules. The most interesting module for the classification or transport authorities, is the stability checking module Hydromax. The analysis capabilities of most stability checking software products are much the same, but some of the key advantages why Hydromax is ideal for use in a class office are: 1. Hydromax Interaction with MaxsurfChecking the client's submitted stability booklet from a set of linesplans often means a lot of time is spent measuring and typing offset data into the Hydrostatic package. With Maxsurf and Hydromax this is not necessary: Hydromax calculates the hydrostatic sections directly from the Maxsurf surface model. Maxsurf supports a range of data import options such as DXF and IGES and offers a range of surface fitting tools as well as a generate TriMesh function. 2. Graphical feedbackBeing able to see the model, including tank fluids, heel over during the calculation of the GZ curve is an important part of the checking process. Each individual step in the analysis can be displayed on screen as well as in tabular and graph data. |
