MISCELANEOUS PIAS OPTIONS

Required

5.a

Calculations based on a surface model
The conventional way for calculating hydrostatics and (damage-) stability in PIAS is based on cross sections. With this option a surface model, as defined in Fairway, will be used as basis for these calculations.

At many places in PIAS space-related data is defined, such as hull shape, compartments and container locations.. This module brings these elements together, and can perform three actions with it:
- Composition of a schematic general arrangement plan
- Generate DXF-representations of 3D sections, container slot lay-out and compartment configurations, Which form the basis of a general arrangement plan.
- Collision check between container slots and compartments.
