Napa Releases New Software Version

One of the main areas of focus has been the development of new tools for probabilistic damage stability calculations. This development work will be relevant to the new SOLAS 2009 regulations coming into effect early next year. The new release has the capability to check compliance with SOLAS 2009 regarding damage stability. In damage generation, for instance, can now handle the complexity caused by A-class bulkheads. Furthermore, the horizontal escape routes can be now modeled and are taken into account in the calculations. In addition, much development work has been done to make it easier to use these features; to this end, a new user interface has been introduced, in the form of a NAPA Manager.
