Mr. Xavier Arosemena 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2017 Hello everybody, About the hydrostatics calculation: Is there a way to define weights of the ship? I mean the material of the hull, its thickness, the position and weight values of engines, etc... What's the correct way to approach this? Cheers, Xavier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matthias Maasch 21 Report post Posted November 9, 2017 Hi Xavier, unfortunately, CAESES doesn't offer such functionality. If you rely on CAESES you would need to create a feature code that does the calculations for you. If, however, you have a license for Bentley's Maxsurf Stability (former Hydromax) you could use an already existing feature code that connects to Maxsurf automatically. This particular feature is called "Equilibrium" and can be found in our online store under Hull Design > Connections > Hydromax > HydroMaxEqulibrium. Please note that this feature needs a change in line 22 from "if (NOT(Hydromax.setComObject("Hydromax.Application")))" to "if (NOT(MaxSurf_Stability.setComObject("BentleyStability.Application")))" in order to be able to launch Maxsurf Stabilty. Let me know what you think. Cheers Matthias Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Xavier Arosemena 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2017 Thanks Matthias for your reply.Too bad, I think that's important for the hydrostatic calculations.Have a good day. Xavier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matthias Maasch 21 Report post Posted November 10, 2017 Hi Xavier, I agree that this is an important step for hydrostatic calculations. Usually, our customers integrate complex hydrostatics by simply connect to specialised software such as Maxsurf or Napa. If you have such software available and you run into trouble with the connection, let me know. Best Regards Matthias Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. MAYTHU ZAW 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2018 Hi Matthias, We have Maxsurf License and I already changed the code in the feature definitions as you said about but the Maxsurf Stability didn't launch. Could you please help me?How can I fix the code to match with my current Maxsurf version. My current maxsurf version is C:\Program Files\Bentley\Offshore\MAXSURF CONNECT Edition V21.11.Thank you Best regards, MayThu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. amin nazemian 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2019 HelloI wanna calculate hydrostatic parameters for a trimaran ship. my problem is the software calculate all things for main hull and doesn't consider sidehulls. software get to know all bodies in CAD tree. I'm not professional but i start with tutorials and follow all instructions. Do i consider special case for trimaran ships? is there any difference for this type of ship hulls?thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
