Workflow ideas
Define vessel geometry
Start from the vessel geometry, loading basis and selected design condition. In the intended NAPA preview, define vessel geometry; the visible result is a hull or system model with principal dimensions and compartments visible. Review coordinate system, displacement, openings and watertight intent before accepting or exporting it.
Evaluate intact and damage stability
Begin with the environmental case, analysis settings and operating assumptions. In the intended NAPA preview, evaluate intact and damage stability; the visible result is hydrostatic, hydrodynamic or structural results tied to the vessel state. Review criteria, headings, periods, load transfer and solver validity before accepting or exporting it.
Review voyage performance
Use the compared design cases and reporting template. In the intended NAPA preview, review voyage performance; the visible result is a traceable performance, production or stability package. Review margins, units, condition identity and naval-architecture judgement before accepting or exporting it.
