SENER Marine, FORAN.
Product Overview * Hull Forms, General Arrangement
Hull forms definition
FSURF provides advanced tools to define the ship surface model based on NURBS formulation. Conventional or special hull forms such as mono-hulls, non symmetric vessels, multi-hulls and oil rigs can be modeled. Appendages of the ship, such as rudder, propeller or bilges can also be defined and treated as a part of the ship main hull or as separated surfaces.
FORAN imports and exports surfaces from other formats (import and export IGES, export DXF, STEP, and other standard formats), and also from third-party proprietary formats.

FORAN general arrangement
The new module for the definition of the ship general arrangement supports the design and management of all ship spaces and setting up of the preliminary layout of equipment, weapons and accommodations areas.

Hydrostatic calculations
HYDROS features an extensive and intuitive set of applications to perform the complete calculation of hydrostatic values, Bonjean curves, deadweight scale, stability cross curves, freeboard, floodable and permissible lengths, sectional areas and trim diagrams.

Load – stactical stability
LOAD performs the distribution of lightship weight, which can be estimated using the Lloyd´s Register criteria or defined by the user.
The following types of cargoes are handled: cargoes in defined spaces, modular cargoes (containers and pallets included), and others. Cargoes can be grouped to simplify the loading condition definition.
LOAD performs the required calculations to obtain the equilibrium waterplane for the ship in still water, in a trochoidal wave or in a sinusoidal wave. Asymmetrical loading conditions and the calculation of the necessary cargo density value to obtain required mean draft are also available.
It is possible to calculate the static and dynamic stability for heeling angles defined by the user or requested by Regulatory Bodies.
LOAD allows to carry out either the
