Define the following ship attributes, used for the Export > Scantlings > Mars2000 and Export to OCX features. The default value for all of the attributes except Freeboard Type is 0.0. All of the attribute values except the deadweight should be input in mm. The mm values are automatically converted into meters in the export.

Length Overall

The overall length from the aftmost end to the foremost end (mm).

Length Between Perpendiculars

The horizontal distance between the forward and after perpendiculars (Lpp in mm).

Rule Length

Length of the ship as defined in Rules for ship scantlings (L in mm).

Aft End Rule From Frame 0

Distance to rule aft end (AE) from frame 0. The sign of this attribute value is switched when it is exported, that is, a positive value in CADMATIC Hull is switched to negative for the export (in mm).

Loadline Length

The load line length.

Breadth Moulded

The moulded breadth (B), measured amidships below the weather deck (in mm).

Depth Moulded

The moulded depth (D in mm).

Depth At Strength Deck

The vertical distance (in mm), measured amidships, from the moulded base line to the top of the deck beam at the side on the uppermost continuous deck.

Depth At Freeboard Deck

The moulded depth (in mm), measured amidships, from the top of the keel to the top of the freeboard deck beams at side, plus the freeboard deck thickness at side.

Depth At Top Continuous Member

Distance from baseline to the top of continuous member (in mm).

Deadweight

The difference, in tonnes, between the displacement and the mass of empty vessel (lightweight) at any given draft.

Fore Peak Freeboard Waterline

Length at the forward end of the waterline for freeboard length (FP in mm).

Aft Peak Freeboard Waterline

Length at the aft end of the waterline for freeboard length (AP in mm).

Length Of Waterline

The length of the waterline at T, (Lwl in mm).

Deepest Equilibrium

Deepest equilibrium waterline in damaged condition.

Upper Deck Area

Projected area of upper deck forward 0.2 L.

Water Plane Area

Area of water-plane forward 0.2 L at scantling draught Td.

Vertical Distance Base-Deck

Vertical distance from the baseline to the deckline at fore end.

Speed Factor Cavitation

Speed factor cavitation.

Freeboard Type

Type A (liquid) or Type B (other). The default value for this attribute is B.

Number Of Decks Above

Number of decks above 0.7 D from baseline.

These settings are used in all project locations.
