Data Input

Due to the nature of on-board systems the Seagoing™ Paramarine™ user interface has been designed to allow suitable methods of data entry for ships staff.  In the main, data can be entered using either an interactive method or a tabular method depending on the application.  The wizard functionality takes the user through each part of the loading condition in a sequential approach to minimise omissions or mistakes.  The data required for each analysis sequence is made clear allowing the operator to proceed efficiently.

Wizard

The wizard guides the user step by step through the various Seagoing Paramarine activities. From setting up the departure condition including a check of actual draughts against calculated, to defining a damage or grounded scenario. The user is prompted to confirm that the relevant data is up to date before each calculation reducing the need for in-depth naval architecture knowledge.

Deck Plan View

An interactive and flexible deck plan of the vessel allows fast, intuitive data entry for variable loadings such as tank conditions, inflicted damage and weights.

Tabular Data Entry

Repetitive data entry, such as daily tank updates, is possible through individual tabular panes provided for the various variable loads.

Related tables are inter-linked to allow input to particular cells via simple mouse selection from other tables. Interaction between tables, such as that used to input Weights for example, and the Deck Plan and 3D pane give the user a simple method for ensuring the correct table item is altered.

Clicking on the weight representing a helicopter has automatically selected the correct item in the tabular view. This relationship also operates in reverse.

3-D View

A 3-Dimensional representation is available predominantly for visualisation purposes. As with the Deck Plan pane it is also interactive allowing fluid and other loads to be edited through the mouse menu. Full and pan functionality is incorporated into the pane as well as options to view waterplanes for various loading conditions. Inter-linkages between the Deck Plan and 3D panes allow for simple selection and manipulation using both panes in unison.

Grounding points can be positioned visually using the 3D pane enabling easy replication of actual location of the ships resting point.
