IRClass Releases IR-HULL Software

IRClass said it specifically developed IR-HULL to verify all aspects of ship design compliance to its established rules and regulations for the construction and classification of steel ships.

The software, available to ship owners, designers, consultants and shipyards, analyzes global strength (including both longitudinal and buckling strength) and local scantling for all panels and stiffeners in a vessel’s hull section. IR-HULL is equipped with a user-friendly graphical interface and an intuitive modeler with CAD drawing tools to help reduce data entry time. 

“IR-HULL is agile, versatile and can be simply applied to multiple ship types,” said Arun Sharma, Chairman and Managing Director of IRClass.

N Girish, Head – Research & Innovation Center added that the new software solution “delivers a range of prescriptive assessment tools and provides results in standardized reports for quick and easy user comprehension, which ultimately facilitates safer ship design.”
