Autohydro Upgrades For Incat Crowther
Autoship Systems Corporation (ASC) is pleased to supply 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 an autoballast feature, an introduction to a new reporting tool, and an update to free-surface moment. Modelmaker comes with a new and improved interface and the part plot tool is re-written and now a menu item.
