A scatter diagram for the North Sea is preloaded by default. You can change it by uploading another file.
Choose one of the pre-selected vessels, or upload your own specification.
Weights of hull, decks and bulkheads are scaled with their areas. Lightweights of tanks and compartments are assumed to remain constant. As capacities of tanks and compartments scale with volume, they also remain constant. Read more about ship objects here.
Simulation will be performed for the design space visualized above. The algorithm will fix the beam at base value, loop through the length, step over beam, loop through length and so on. A step of 0.01 in the scaling ratio is used by default, totaling a number of up to 441 simulated ship specifications.
Every combination of scaled ship, propeller and power plant specifications will be simulated. It may take some minutes to perform all the simulations.
