Shipbuilding and construction software
According to ClasNK, the Harmonized CSR not only unify the existing CSR for bulk carriers and tankers but also incorporate IMO’s Goal Based Standards (GBS) with the aim of further rationalising shipbuilding regulations.
ClassNK´s new software is said to be helpful for yards and ship designers to test and implement rules and regulations. It provides functions like a “Case Study” tool, which allows the user to assess the effects of changes to the parameters of initial ship designs, as well as a function to generate 3-D models for hull structural analysis directly from rule calculation data. The software is able to use data produced by existing CSR software and integrates all major 3-D CAD/CAE software systems and ship performance calculation software.
