This three-day course provides hands-on experience in using RulesCalc software to perform prescriptive checks required by the Lloyd’s Register Rules for Classification of Ships.
Who will benefit
This course is of great value to ship designers, marine consultants and plan approval surveyors who are looking to accelerate their day to day assessment work and focus more on value added services for their clients.
Naval architecture students will find RulesCalc a great learning tool to get themselves familiarised with Lloyd’s Register’s Rules for Classification of Ships.
The course will be delivered through a series of presentations and guided practical exercises.
RulesCalc helps to ensure compliance with LR rules in initial design stage. The transparent intermediate results provide extra assurance, enabling you to accelerate modelling and assessment.
RulesCalc is specifically designed for you to interactively optimise your design against the rule required scantlings and achieving prescriptive compliance through effective integration of classification Rules into the design process
By the end of the course you will have gained knowledge and skills needed to perform rule required assessments more efficiently.
