Common Structural Rules Software, a joint venture company formed by Lloyd’s Register and ABS, has updated its software products in line with the latest International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) rule changes on bulk carrier and oil tankers. The update will help users with the development of new designs to meet the latest rules as well as application of older rule versions to designs that may apply to the contract date of the ship.
The software provides users with an easy way to evaluate ship designs against CSR and is employed by around 500 users. Regular updates will continue to improve functionality and address rule changes.
Details can be found in the Release Notes and User Guide bundled with the software installation.
The updated CSR Prescriptive Analysis and CSR Finite Element Analysis tools are available for download from the Common Structural Rules Software LLC website at www.commonstructuralrulessoftware.com, along with user support to both CSR Prescriptive and CSR FE Analysis software including licenses.
