It has recently come to our attention that there is a bug in some stability criteria when using water on deck. This affects only criteria which group together multiple individual criteria. The problem has existed since water on deck analysis…
It has recently come to our attention that there is a bug in some stability criteria when using water on deck. This affects only criteria which group together multiple individual criteria. The problem has existed since water on deck analysis was introduced several years ago. The affected criteria are those derived from the parent…
It has come to our attention that there was an error in the way in which the probability of a damage condition occurring was calculated. This error occurred for conditions of multiple adjacent zones of damage and transverse subdivision…
MAXSURF 23 was released at the end of last year; 2021 marks the 25th year of MAXSURF on Microsoft Windows whilst its predecessor MacSurf, on the Apple Macintosh platform, was first released in 1985. The developers behind the MAXSURF software are by and large naval architects and structural engineers, many of whom have been working on MAXSURF since the early days on the Windows platform (I started working for Formation…
Just because its old doesn't mean its no good. I found some archived training material on my HDD today. This may be helpful if you are new to modelling with NURBS in MAXSURF Modeler:
Learning MAXSURF - Self-paced training material from 2011
This is somewhat dated self-paced training material that we created in 2011. However the underlying principles of how the software works are essentially the same. In the newer…

Discover how MAXSURF and photogrammetry are being used to preserve our maritime history ...https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/using-photogrammetry-preserve-our-maritime-history-dougal-harris/?published=t&fbclid=IwAR0isCWnIisXGonhze7crgnzJ3E1IWMoGiJLHVVypADedT_J2m-caxkO0xM
Scope of Work
In total there are eight options one can use to compute the location of the center of gravity when a compartment is not filled completely (slack). This is a result of approximate methods used in the past due to limited computational power. Users are always to implement the -correct option. This document explains how the -app none and -correct options in the &COMPARTMENT command affect the calculated…
SACS CONNECT Edition V13.0 – CL release includes enhancements including:
CONNECT licensing is Bentley's new licensing model, providing enhanced security and optimized value for your Bentley Subscriptions. It is integrated with Bentley's Identity Management System (IMS) and the Bentley CONNECT technology platform to allow near real-time reporting of usage, improved alert messaging to users and increased…
1. Overview
The purpose of this document is to show what gamma values for 2JONSWAP spectrum MOSES calculate and what is reported when multiple periods are defined with an option "-e_periods". Multiple sea-states with varying mean periods are stored in the database for later use in statistic calculation. After generating hydrodynamic pressure data, RAOs of the vessel is computed. Motion statistics for several…
This document presents a discussion on the -omega option that is part of the &EQUI command. The &EQUI command in MOSES computes a static equilibrium position with a modified Newton method. Also presented is an example when the -omega option in the &EQUI command is used to reach equilibrium.
You can find a good description of the Newton method on Wikipedia. The article in Wikipedia shows…
