Marpol accidental oil outflow extension released

May 1st, 2010
We are pleased to announce the release of our new Marpol oil outflow extension according to MEPC.141(54). This new extension calculates the accidental oil outflow parameter for vessels with an aggregrated fuel oil capacity of more than 600 m3. This oil outflow parameter is calculated for both sides of the ship. More details regarding this new extension can be found here.

DELFTship professional Print
Curvature plot to analyze surface smoothness. DELFTship™Professional is a professional hullform modeler using the same modeling kernel as the DELFTship™Free. Equiped with additional features such as automated fairing algorithms and additional import/export formats it makes a very powerful modeling tool. To even further extend the functionality we've developed a whole range of professional extensions that make up a complete ship design package indispensable to any modern design office.
NOTE: These extensions are to be purchased separately from the hull modeler.
Instead of using stations, all hydrostatics calculations are panel-based. By integrating the volumes enclosed by the surface panels from the surface definition a higher degree of accuracy is obtained, especially if a heeling angle and trim is taken into account.
Additional features of the professional hull modeler compared to the free edition of DELFTship are:

Miscellaneous features:
  • The possibility to add professional extensions.
  • Extensive upright hydrostatic calculations, including a specified trim
  • Modeling of assymetrical hulls.
Modeling tools:
  • Automatic fairing of curves
  • Automatic fairing of surfaces
  • Automatic transformation of the midship coefficient
Reporting
  • Native fully customizable reports
File import:
  • IGES files entity 128 (non rational geometry only)
File export:
  • Surface or curve geometry to IGES files (entity 128/126)
  • Stations to Seaway
  • Export the entire hull geometry including project settings to a FEF file
  • Plate expansions to 2D DXF polylines
