PrimeShip-IPCA
Introduction
PrimeShip-IPCA is a program developed by ClassNK for determining trim, stability, longitudinal strength, freeboard, grain heeling moment, and other similar factors pertaining to ship performance capabiloity. On this page you will find a summary of the software, the software's hardware requirements, and information on how to apply for the software.
Main Concepts
Design work can be done efficiently by inputting data while checking the resulting shapes on the screen. Measures are taken to facilitate the inputting and outputting of data.
Key Features
