Purpose of AVEVA Initial Design Calc

AVEVA Initial Design Calc offers the ship designer a comprehensive toolkit of Naval Architectural assessment routines including the calculation of hydrostatics, tank calibration, loading conditions, intact and damage stability, critical KGs, longitudinal strength, tonnage and launching. Particularly sophisticated routines are included for damage stability assessment using both deterministic and probabilistic methodology as well as more specialized calculations covering grain stability.

Calc also contains a routine that takes data collected during an inclining experiment and assembles and evaluates it in order to produce a report for submission to the authorities.

Comprehensive graphical and tabular output is available throughout Calc in a form directly applicable to obtaining both owner and regulatory approval for a new design and for use in standard documentation such as tender responses, Stability Booklets and damage stability assessments. Indeed a significant feature of the current version of Calc is that the overall process is itself report format oriented.
