ShipRight software

ShipRight is a comprehensive system of mandatory and voluntary procedures aimed at helping to ensure that the highest standards of safety, quality and reliability are achieved at the design stage, during construction and for the whole operational lifetime of your ship. Lloyds Register offers two software packages to support you in implementing some of these procedures.

We have developed software to support the following ShipRight procedures that apply during the design phase of your ships lifecycle:

• Structural design assessment (SDA), which helps give you confidence in the structural integrity of your vessel.
• Fatigue design assessment (FDA), which enables you to analyse the fatigue performance of structural details in your vessel.

What are the benefits?

• Using ShipRight software tools helps you to save time and cost through faster modelling and assessment processes.
• The software helps improve efficiency at the initial design stage, leading to higher confidence in Rule compliance.
• The tools have been designed to work alongside your design offices established processes.

How can Lloyd's Register help?

ShipRight SDA software

This is a finite element modelling (FEM) tool that is optimised for ship type structures. It contains individual modules covering modelling, meshing, loading, analysis and post-processing. Each module is highly automated and can be easily adapted to work with your existing process through its interface with Nastran/Patran. You can use the software as a complete self-contained system or you can use any of its modules to supplement your existing system. Full user documentation is supplied together with example models.

The software has been designed to work with your existing process, using models that you already prepare when designing ships.

The latest version of the software fully supports the direct calculation requirements for the Common Tanker Rules as well as UR S25 for bulk carriers.

ShipRight FDA Level 2 software

This helps you to quickly carry out a fatigue life assessment on your ship design and readily identify critical areas that may be prone to fatigue, allowing you to modify your design accordingly helping to avoid potentially costly repairs later in your vessels life.

Design arrangements can be modelled and analysed rapidly using a simplified spectral analysis method incorporating:

• standard joint configuration types including radii and welding details
• ship voyage pattern and environmental loading
• ship motions, global hull bending and local (non-linear) wave pressure loads.

Full analysis and results presentation are fast and efficient, and electronic access to the Structural Detail Design Guide is also provided.

Demo versions of the software can be downloaded from the ClassDirect Live website.
