Software Favored by Naval Architects, Salvage Engineers, and Vessel Operators

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 be used to make trim and stability books? Yes, that's a primary application. There are four powerful, high-quality and economical software packages: GHS (General HydroStatics)- the naval architect's package GHS/Salvage - the salvor's package GHS Load Monitor (GLM) - for shipboard use BHS (Basic HydroStatics) - the engineer's economy package All are available directly from Creative Systems, Inc. and from distributors.
