...density allowances are one of many allowances and corrections that needs to be taken care of to calculate final position of the summer load waterline. I was looking for some software that could speed up the calculation a bit...why I need this ? Lloyd's, for example, based it's rule lenght on summer load waterline , and scantling calculations are directly dependent...vicious circle

I bet a spreadsheet would be a useful tool in this. Do all your formulas at once referencing one or more cells with the variable(s) in them.
