SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS Fundia Offers New Design Tool A new PC design program is available from Fundia Profiler AS, the Norwegian shipbuilding profile producer. The program is designed to help ship designers evaluate the suit- ability of the Fundia T-Bulb in relation to the standard T-profile. The user simply clicks onto rele- vant boxes to move through the program. The program offers many options, including the "design your own T-bulb" function. Through inputting the desired profile height, web thickness and width, and then adding a T-bulb head, values for paint area, section mod- ulus and weight are given for the T-bulb. The program allows the operator to test the properties of the T-pro- file against the Fundia T-bulb. Web and flange sizes for tradition- al T-profiles are given by the user, and the program computes com- Rrdigef Vis Sikkerhef Vindu Hjeip Design your own I Bulb and see the properties: Properties of TB 160 x 40: Pan) area |m2/m| Seel nod [Wpl (CM3|1 Ml '• il Weight Ikg/mJ W'j-1 j Prut out ]| HgjlE. 1 ATB125.40 ATB 126 » 45 WsgiF IB 200 « 4b IB 200 . 50 Show data about chosen T Bi* head above SymMetiicaf Width 160 mm Ihjcknen: 40 mm Heiqth |h2J Web thickness («{.', Give specification of pfate welded to the profile: Width lp-| Mi mm Thickness (pt) lit mm Retun to menu j | Show propeifief | A new design tool helps shipyards evaluate the Fundia T-bulb. parative paint arc and weight for the T-profile versus the T-bulb.

The course has been developed jointly with World Learning and Marine Interactive Training Corp. (MITC). The new Standard Marine Navigational Vocabulary course is presented in English, with back-up support offered in Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Russian and Spanish. The new course is based on the IMO's Standard Marine Navigational Vocabulary (SMNV), according to Capt. Timothy Leitzell, president, ABS Marine Services. "From February of this year, the revised STCW Convention introduces more stringent shipboard language require- ments. A standard marine vocabulary and comprehen- sion standard is an essential safety component for the marine industry." For more information on the program Circle 55 on Reader Service Card
