HydroComp also enhanced its

NavCad Version 3. Recent in-house projects allowed the company to develop and implement improved resistance prediction methods for tankers and bulkers. These re- placement algorithms reportedly produce higher quality results for the large, high-centered bulbs found on contemporary tankers and bulk carriers. An internal technical re- port (HCI Report #104) describes these enhancements and presents comparative validation studies.

A new user support system fea- ture, known as AppGuide, is an- other contribution in revision 3.1.

AppGuide is designed to eliminate the calculation procedure learning curve. Grouping of data entry, file handling and calculations are pre- built and arranged for the six most used calculation processes: resis- tance prediction; shaft power; opti- mum propeller selection; quick-size propeller selection; preparation of model/parent file from a model test; and preparation of a model/parent file from a sea trial.
