Herbert-ABS releases offshore stability evaluation solution

Herbert-ABS Software Solutions LLC has announced the launch of its HECSTAB offshore stability evaluation Software which allows naval architects to easily evaluate multiple design options for non-ship shaped offshore assets.

“HECSTAB is a powerful commercial application enabling users to simply create multiple models of offshore assets and quickly analyze the stability impact of design changes,” said Hendrik Bruhns, President, Herbert-ABS Software Solutions LLC, a joint venture between Herbert Engineering Corporation and American Bureau of Shipping . “HECSTAB allows the user to setup, run and generate results for a wide array of batch analyses, including those required for offshore regulatory evaluations.”

Designed with a versatile user interface featuring improved 3D and 2D viewports, HECSTAB’s functionality includes the “free twist” variable heeling axis stability calculation method, batch tools for running stability evaluations on a large matrix of regulatory intact and damaged conditions, the ability to develop V-Curves from a range of loading conditions, as well as integration with ABS Wind software.
