ShipWeight is a software for estimating and monitoring weight and center of gravity for ships. At an early design stage it is important to be able to efficiently structure and reuse weight data from previous projects.
ShipWeight is a software for estimating and monitoring weight and center of gravity for ships. At an early design stage it is important to be able to efficiently structure and reuse weight data from previous projects.
Using breakdown structures, ShipWeight divides the ship into weight groups containing information on weight, center of gravity and other relevant information. To each weight group a specific formula for estimation of weight is attached.
The ShipWeight system contains two modules, Asbuilt weight and Design weight. In the Asbuilt module, data from weight take off during construction is structured and stored together with relevant parameters for the items. When the vessel is complete and the Asbuilt weight is corrected according to the results from the incling test report, the ship is ready to be exported to the ship database, containing complete weight and CoG data for all projects.
As well as entering weights for each weight group it is important to enter specific parameters for that group to obtain the estimation coefficient for use in later estimation.
Some of the ShipWeight features besides general weight/CoG estimation and monitoring are:
Weight distribution curve
Weight distribution data can be exported to file formats for import e.g. to Autoship.
Gyradius key values
Values for roll, pitch and yaw as well as combined motion values
Standard and user defined weight reporting
The user can define a reporting structure, and by tagging weight items reports can be made according to this structure
Comparing projects
Any project can be compared on a weight group level. Valuable when analyzing the deviation between estimate and monitoring projects.
Uncertainty and successive calculation
ShipWeight takes uncertainty into account when estimating.
Equipment database
ShipWeight is delivered with an equipment database which the user can edit.
