---

The following is calculated:

• Minimum plate thickness (DNV-OS-C101)
• Minimum section modulus of stiffener/plate (DNVGL-OS-C101)
• Minimum shear area (DNVGL-OS-C101)
• Buckling (DNVGL-RP-C201)or PULS (licenced DNV software)
• Buckling strength of shells DNV-RP-C202
• PULS buckling (DNV license needed)
• Machine learning buckling, PULS based
• Fatigue for plate/stiffener connection (DNVGL-RP-C203)

Compartments (tank pressures) are created automatically.

Pressures on external hull (or any other generic location) is defined by specifying equations.

You can optimize cylinders, single plate/stiffener field or multiple. Geometry of double bottom can be optimized.
