TXHSTL

TXHSTL describes ship´s steel structures and has the flexibility to transfer steel structure product data on basic, overall level or on a very detailed level.

One of the first applications of TXHSTL is to transfer steel structural data from Structural Design to PrimeShip from ClassNK and Patran/Nastran from MSC.

TXHSTL exists in two versions, one for modelling (input) purposes, called TXHSTL-M, where M stands for Modelling and another one for reporting (output) purposes, called TXHSTL-R. Their main structures are similar, but there are differences in the way the details regarding the plate and profile parts are described. The M version is focused on topology and parameters while the R version focuses on geometry.
