- ClassNK released a new version PrimeShip-HULL (HCSR) incorporating the updated rules and regulations.
- PrimeShip-HULL (HCSR) creates reports for multiple sectional data, change output settings in detail, enable the sorting of reports by section, and evaluate items.
- It also comprises “zooming analysis” for design examination and strength evaluation with partial models cut out from hold models.
On February 12, ClassNK released the latest version of its design support software PrimeShip-HULL (HCSR) Ver.6.0.0.
Incorporates updated rules
The latest version has been developed in response to the IACS Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers (CSR BC & OT). The new version incorporates the latest rule amendments to CSR BC & OT including amendments based on feedback from the industry.
HCSR calculative software
In addition to the incorporation of the latest rule amendments, various functions were also added or improved in the PrimeShip-HULL (HCSR) prescriptive calculation software and direct strength assessment software.
The enhanced calculation report function found in the prescriptive calculation software makes it possible to create reports for multiple sectional data all at once. The update also allows users to change output settings in detail, enabling the sorting of reports by section, evaluation item and more.
Additionally, the enhanced data linkage function with 2D CAD data enables users to load the sectional data of outside cargo parts. It is now possible to load the sectional data of all ship parts.
Zooming analysis
The direct strength assessment software now contains a “Zooming Analysis” function. This can be used for design examination and strength evaluation with partial models cut out from hold models.
The mesh refinement function found in the direct strength assessment software has also improved to allow better mesh quality. Now it is possible to create higher quality meshes even for complex structures.
Reduce manpower
The enhancements and new functions are expected to greatly contribute to reductions in necessary man-hours and shorter design lead times.
PrimeShip-HULL (HCSR) Ver.6.0.0 was developed by ClassNK to offer the industry the highest level of support in the design of safer ships compliant with CSR BC & OT.
