Creative Systems is the originator of GHS, the world-famous
PC-based simulator of vessels in fluids and fluids in vessels
- for ships, yachts, docks, drilling
platforms, buoys, tanks, etc. - answering such questions as:
How deep and at what attitude will it float?
How much load will it carry?
When will it capsize?
Will it survive if damaged?
In addition, GHS calculates tank characteristics:
volume and surface properties of any tank, pool, basin, etc.
Also does: longitudinal strength
- shear and bending moments, stress and deflection due to weight and buoyancy forces.
Includes ground reaction:
buoyancy arising from points of ground contact.
The Multi-Body
module gives GHS the ability to model the interactions of multiple vessels
in a wide variety of configurations when latched together or resting on one another.
Also available: grain shift calculations involving migrating void pockets.
Can GHS do a simple thing like creating a trim and stability book?
Yes, of course. That's what it's used for most of the time.
