Thank you to all who came to my WMTC presentation on Thursday. I have updated the main web site and will include a download of the system as soon as I figure out how to upload it properly. The download includes my WMTC paper and documentation for the organization of the system and documentation for the three calc engines: simple horsepower estimates that include all of the source code (in Visual C++), an intact hydrostatics and stability calc engine that balances the vessel for upright displacement and LCG at each heel angle (reads GHS, NWS, SHCP, or LFH hull offsets files), and my Savitsky "Long Form" calculation program that includes many other optional calculations of lift and drag. The open GUI spreadsheet that works for any calc engine puts all of the input variables on the first worksheet and puts the table or grid of results on the second worksheet. There are also macro buttons for graphing and producing 3D contour plots. This spreadsheet program needs more polish and calculation commands, like finding max and mins, and optionally calculating areas under any user-selected curves. It could also use a good way to define default values, and of course, there is the connection to a design database using a spreadsheet that needs to be finished. I also look forward to showing how a sequence of calc engines can be build and run automatically using an open spreadsheet tool.
If you have any comments or questions, you can respond here or email me at shollist@newavesys.com
Thanks.
