Autoship Systems Corporation (ASC) of Vancouver, Canada has supplied Incat Crowther USA, a passenger vessel design company, upgrades to their Autohydro Pro hydrostatics and stability software.
Autohydro provides naval architects with many important tools for assessment and approval of passenger vessel designs. Autohydro 6.4 included a major update to handle the SOLAS 2009 probabilistic rules for cargo and passenger vessels. With soon to be released version 6.5, assessment of intermediate stages of flooding per the probabilistic rules will be added and Modelmaker will be enabled to allow the user to graphically see penetrations and to print penetration calculations.
Other features in Autohydro 6.4 and 6.5 include: autoballast feature, introduction to a new reporting tool, update to free-surface-moment, Modelmaker comes with new and improved interface, part plot tool re-written and is now a menu item in Modelmaker, automatic import of IGES models, user able to export bulkhead definitions for Autohydro to use in its calculations and compatibility with Windows 7.
