MAXSURF CONNECT Edition v21.10.00.39 What's New in MAXSURF CONNECT Edition v21 MAXSURF Modeler - enhanced trimesh support and surface meshing Increase productivity with improved trimesh creation for hydrodynamic and hydrostatic analyses Support for trimesh models (models containing surfaces defined by a structured, triangular mesh) has been greatly enhanced in this version of MAXSURF. Quickly generate MAXSURF models with trimesh surfaces created from existing NURBS surfaces or point data. Use these models for hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analysis in MAXSURF Stability, Resistance and Motions. Trimeshes can be easily regenerated if the basis NURBS surfaces are modified; furthermore manual refinement of the trimesh always ensures that the nodes remain on the basis NURBS surface. MAXSURF Stability – time for cross-flooding analysis Verify compliance with IMO Resolution MSC.362(92) by calculating time to cross-flood A new analysis, following the procedure outlines in IMO Resolution MSC.362(92) Revised Recommendation on a Standard Method for Evaluating Cross-Flooding Arrangements, has been added to this version of MAXSURF Stability. Cross-flooding devices connecting pairs of rooms are defined for the model. The analysis takes an initial damage condition and evaluates the final cross-flooded condition, as well as the time to achieve full cross flooding using the procedure in MSC.362(92). Specify any number of intermediate times, e.g. 60s and 600s, and the vessel condition, including room flooding level, will be computed at these time-steps. The analysis takes into account multiple pairs of cross-flooding rooms, and automatically finds the volume of cross-flooded fluid for each pair of rooms at each time step. View the vessel condition graphically at each immediate time step, as well as pre and post complete cross-flooding. Full vessel properties including flooding volumes and centers are tabulated for all the conditions.
