A SCRIPT builder capability is added to CompRender v02.25.00. The SCRIPT capability in CompRender is a means of executing a series of 2D drafting commands to create consistent hull and compartment drawings of DRAFT/DECK and WLASA type waterline and BUTTOCK section cuts. Previously these SCRIPTs were typed by hand with the user calculating the scaled […]

SHRINK Software Introduced
SHRINK is the first software produced exclusively by JM Rosborough Stability Consulting. SHRINK fills the gap between hull forms that may reside in CAD software such as Rhino and the creation of usable SHCP offsets. Often the SHCP user has a hull provided as a surface or surfaces in CAD software format but the […]
SHCP – Early History
I have been approached by a colleague from my early NAVSEA days, Dr. Larrie D. Ferreiro, who expressed interest in the early history of SHCP – when / where it was created, who authored, promoted, and maintained the code, etc.? Since he is looking for this background to contribute to his possible follow on book […]
Questions, Comments, Suggestions? Let Me Know!!
If you have a question, comment, or suggestion regarding a) the SHCP suite of stability software, b) methods used to accomplish supporting stability tasks, or c) USN oriented stability analysis in general, please add it in the comments area for this post.
Verifying Your SHCP Hull Surfaces
I was recently asked about the use of the VRML model created via MapIt and the PictSolid representation of the hull as tools for verifying the acceptability of the SHCP hull form offset surfaces you are creating/examining. Let me say right up front: Those two surface oriented representations of the SHCP hull SHOULD NOT be […]
MapIt adds Draw Compartments capability
Starting with Version 5.63.00 MapIt have added ability to create SHCP compartments by drawing them. The menu command “Create Parts | Draw Compartments” provides a user defined waterplane plot with any existing compartments and a supporting compartment creation dialog. The user may then add either ‘main’ or ‘sub’ compartments by using a graphic rubber-band box […]
Compartment Adjacency added to MapIt
Version 5.59.00 introduced two new related capabilities: IsInCompt and IsNearCompt. The IsInCompt routine returns a list of compartments in which the submitted point is found. This is helpful when needing to validate ASA data that has a compartment and a XYZ location such as equipment, sinks, and transfers. The IsNearCompt routine uses the IsInCompt routine […]
