Check Out the Jack-Up Version of Autoload!
Autoship Systems Corporation's (ASC) latest module for Autoload, the Jack-Up version is developed for the specific need for monitoring and simulation of stability and strength both for free floating (transit) condition as well as jacking up/preloading and elevated conditions.
When the Autoload Jack-Up version is in free floating mode the leg heights can be set either graphically or numerically. Since Autoload immediately updates the floating position and constantly monitors critical values such as stability and maxvcg, a change in leg height will trigger a round of calculations based on the new leg heights and their effect on buoyancy, center of gravity and wind area.
In Jacking mode the vessel is considered as semi-floating and in Elevated mode the vessel is considered not free-floating. In either of these modes a 'Jack up window' is used to monitor and simulate all the relevant aspects of operating the vessel in this way. Additionally, various alarms, such as longitudinal strength and over-pressure of the foot pads may be configured.

ASC provides leading-edge CAD/CAM software for vessel design and construction, on-board strength and stability monitoring and customized load planning. Products include Autohydro, Autoload and Stowage Planning Systems (SPS).
Products
Name: AUTOSHIP PRO
Description: HULL DESIGN & SURFACE MODELLING SOFTWAREM
Details:
The Autoship hull design & surface modelling program combines the graphical user interface of Windows with the dexterity of NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) mathematics, the high-end CAD standard for surface modelling, to give you the tools to quickly and efficiently create any hull shape from a racing yacht to a super tanker, including the superstructure and appendages.
Name: AUTOHYDRO PRO
Description: HYDROSTATICS AND STABILITY SOFTWARE
Details:
Autohydro is a complete hydrostatics and stability calculations program for naval architects, ship designers and marine engineers. A true 'floating simulator', Autohydro reports the reaction of the model to various conditions such as a loading configuration, a damage situation, conditions involving outside forces, wind or high speed turning momentum or some combination of these. Autohydro can also be used to obtain hull form characteristics and capacities. Vessel attitude is displayed graphically and in text on the screen. Report information, text, and graphs can be shown on the screen, edited, printed, saved or exported to other Windows applications.
Name: AUTOLOAD
Description: HYDROSTATICS & STABILITY SOFTWARE
Details:
Designed to meet IMO loading instrument requirements, Autoload Stability enables vessel operators to perform proper trim, stability and strength calculations for any load condition before leaving port and at any time while at sea. The main window shows profile, plan, and body plan views of the ship in the loaded condition, as well as calculated hydrostatic values. Autoload Stability calculates stability as fuel and consumables are used, makes use of optimal ballast, and evaluates strength and stability in an intact, damaged or grounded condition. A comparison of the vessel condition can be made against preset strength and stability limits. All calculation results are derived from first principles, and therefore results are true at any displacement and at any angle of trim or heel.
