floodable length and subdivisions

I want a software or fast programm to calculate the floodable length of any ship......help

 

a good one in a good price is HYSS.xls very good and easy to use and in a good price.
another there is company that they offer som e templates in excel they may have what you are looking for:

How can i take this programm?How is the price?...........................thanks for your help

 

Have a look at the website for hyss.xls, you will find the information of the software manual and how to order

have you an floodable length calculations in word or anything to start my exersice? i have a tugboat 33m and i dont know how to start

 

sorry i don't have a spreadsheet i use hyss and the from the results i put together watherever information or graphic that i need.

 

I've a problem:

a barge (L=100,B=20,D=9) with a double bottom (height=1 m).
calculation the flood-able length at amidship of this barge.

 

Why you need to calculate the floodable length of a barge?. It is not normal that this study is requested for these ships.

 

yes,this is not normal,but it is a midterm problem of my education study.the problem says about a barge with dimension and a double bottom with 1 meter height,so want to calculation of floodable length amidship of this barge.!!

i solve this problem with lossed bouyancy methode,and INTERFERE the DB like a volume that not flooded ,so my answer not realy accept with my teacher.
he says that the floodable length is a geometric parameter and the double bottom not effect to that.

is not it?

 

Yes, your teacher is right. The floodable length study ignores the vertical subdivision. It is a theoretical study.

 

attension
he says all phisical subdivision(deck,inner bottom,transverse,long bulkhead) not effect on FL!!!

 

Normally flood able length calculation is required only for passenger vessels. I don't think it is required of Cargo ships. TANSl am i right ?

 

Sirhamid, transverse bulkheads are precisely those which determine the length of the space is flooded.
Athvas, dry cargo vessels over 80 m in length and liquid cargo ships, among others, should also be studied from the point of view of stability after damage. Initially, you are right, only applied to passenger vessels
