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...

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...

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 ...

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)...

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, ...

It would be good to have Vessel side by side interaction hydrodynamic analysis as it is a main application for most of the companies working in deep waters.

Currently MOSES reports draft based on forward and aft points of the vessel during a stability check. When draft markers are defined to match the specific loading condition, certification agencies expect the draft to be reported based on the defin...

In many projects, client asks for a hydrostatic collapse check with increased water depth (eg: hydrostatic collapse check when water depth is increased by 33%). This scenario can arise during accidental damage of the system. Currently, this check ...

We define load cases for structural analysis lcase -process option. Currently, alphabetical order of these load cases is followed for reporting the outputs. For eg: in a launch analysis, if the load cases are defined as prelaunch, tipping, posttip...

In jacket models, there are requirements of having a connecting member which takes compression/tension only during certain operations. In SACS, such a member can be modelled using GAP element. Currently in MOSES, such a feature is not available. I...
