SigmaLAM - new software for marine composites

We have developed new software for marine composite structural calcs. Currently it covers:

- ISO12215-5:2019
- RS class for composite ships
- RCS for fiberglass boats

In plans: IRS for composite craft. Any suggestions for other classes?

One of the advantages is: we can calc to different rules and standards within the same file/interface.

 

I am fully aware of the enormous effort behind software like this. I wish you much success with it and that professionals in the sector are able to recognize the usefulness of your software. Congratulations and encouragement even if you do not get immediate positive responses. This type of software helps enormously in the "technification", quality and rigor of the projects.

 

Thanks TANSL, we have chosen a bit different model - we do not sell the software. Instead, we have got software certified (by RS-Class and RCS) provide calculation services under these classes. Doing other classes now.
I think it might work better compared to selling software to boat designers, as market is small and they always want it for free

 

Indeed, they are totally different models, but with both of them we intend, you and I, to obtain satisfaction of a very similar type. In any case, I have focused on obtaining a tool that allows the designer to deal with all aspects and all types of ships covered by ISO 12215. I have not tried to work with other regulations. But I'm sure users can be thankful that software like yours and mine exists. Perhaps for a specific calculation your software covers a broader market niche but, in my opinion, a designer with many and varied projects (of which there are fewer every day, by the way), will be able to obtain more benefits in the long term, with the another model. Users will say.
I repeat, good luck, I wish you much success.

 

That's basically what I did with my DNV ally rules in the late 90s, as the "Golden Rules" was getting overly complex.
But now...quick and simple to produce a midship section.
I also started doing a similar one for LR rules, but since they bought out their SSC software, it was no longer necessary...i just their SSC software now.

 

TANSL, I see you have free version of the software, what is different from commercial version?

 

It is not a free version but a <<demo>> that performs the same operations as the commercial version and can be used, checked, for 30 days. The difference is that the <<demo>> does not allow you to print the results.
Apart from the great work involved in creating and launching any type of software, user support is a great effort on the part of the distributor, so the free versions can be exhausting. But we all know that a very important part of any software is the help system and user support. This is an aspect that is not valued enough but that should be decisive when selecting any software.
