Intact stability (load cases) |
 |
 The intact stability extension of DELFTship™ allows for an unlimited number of load cases. The visual approach to calculating load cases ensures maximum efficiency. Calculated load cases are drawn in 3D showing the resulting draft, trim and heeling angle. The results of the calculation are displayed in a customizable report that can also be exported to a HTML file for use in any word processor or spreadsheet. |
Features:
- Create and maintain a user defined set of stability criteria or use the default IMO criteria incorporated in the program.
- Add common weights or lightship weights to weightgroups in the weight list. Weightgroups can contain both weights and tanks. Multiple lightship weightgroups are allowed.
- Automatic calculation of lightship weight and center of gravity based on lightship items from the weightlist.
- Add any number of fixed (point) weights to a load case.
- Assign tanks to a load case.
- Fill tanks by either specifying a weight or a filling percentage.
- Input and output is sorted by weightgroups. The header of each weightgroup shows the subtotals for that particular group so the designer can instantly see the contents, free surface correction and other properties of a weightgroup. Each weightgroup can be collapsed/expanded in the input screen.
- For a better visualization of the liquid contents of tanks when heeled, the tanks are rendered transparent while the fluids are rendered solid.
- The ship including tank and contents is drawn in the equilibrium position after solving the load case. The waterline is highlighted and submerged surfaces are rendered in a different color.
- Fully customizable HTML report output.
- Create and assign wind silhouettes to a load case. The actual wind area and lateral area is automatically calculated from the equilibrium draft and trim.
- Calculate wind moments for wind silhouettes. Basic wind silhouettes are automatically extracted from the hull shape and can easily be extended to represent very complex silhouettes.
- Display of critical points in the 3D view.

On 12 March 2010, Fugro took delivery of a new-build survey vessel, the MV "Fugro Searcher". The high-tech survey vessel was build by the German shipyard Fr. Fassmer GmbH & Co. KG located near Bremen.
