Pinned ideas

PINNED Max VCG for specific loadcase (like limit VCG) analysis
Add new functionality to Large Angle Stability analysis so that a single fixed-weight item in the loadcase can be selected so that automatically the maximum VCG of that item can be found for which the GZ curve still (just) passes all selected stab...

Reload model command in Maxsurf Stability to update geometry after adjustment in Modeler

When we are designing a hull, we often go back and forth between Modeler and Stability, tweaking the hull shape, tank layout and compartmentation as we go. In this process, after making a change to the model in Modeler, we need to close and reopen...

Use only "actual FSM" for correction of GM when "simulate fluid movement" is selected

In Maxsurf stability, when using simulate fluid movement (SFM) to correct for free fluid surfaces in tanks, the equilibrium GM is still corrected using the FSM correction as defined in the loading conditions. However, the option to select FSM corr...

3D orbit functionality in perspective view. Match navigation to e.g. Rhino.

Current way of navigating the 3D perspective view is not very convenient. We use the perspective view in Maxsurf Modeller a lot especially, to glance over the geometry from different angles to inspect fairness. It would help if navigation in this ...

Increase the allowable number of slings in the ASSEMBLY T-H_DEFINITION

Currently, the maximum number of permitted slings in a Tip Hook assembly is 7, i.e. six slings + the boom. It is common industry practice to lift with 9 slings; see attached, where eight slings participate + the boom. Moses is limited, and we are ...

Pin & Bucket Guide a.k.a Stabbing Cone Connector

Connector that behave as pin/bucket guide Connector is activated when the pin is inside the bucket Reaction between the pin and bucket will influence the DOF of the lifted body (and not acting as LMU connector)

Option to apply load factor for selected structural members

Currently, with CASES_POST command, load factors can be applied to a full structure. In some scenarios, for example, during a lift analysis, higher load factors need to be applied to the associated BEAM elements only (eg: rigging connection beams)...

Allowable limits for Shear Force and Bending Moment in the MOMENT command

Class requirements insist comparing the shear force (SF) and Bending moment (BM) values along the length of the ship with the allowable limits of SF and BM. If there are options to include allowable SF, BM values at various longitudinal sections, ...

Copy & Paste Surfaces between models in Maxsurf Modeller

Would like to be able to copy surfaces that define geometry such as internal structure, tanks, etc between models. Currently process is to recreate the required surface(s) in the new model, defining the settings (stiffness, etc), updating the rows...

cmp_bal modification - achieve even keel condition

Sometimes one is looking for a ballast configuration to achieve even keel, whereas the draft may vary. Thus, it would be nice to allow cmp_bal to alter certain degrees of freedom compared to the current system configuration (at least the draft).
