INTRODUCTION

SCT is an application that tries to help the designer in the scantling of small crafts, according the ISO
Standard 12215-5, inside the scope defined by it self The initial window of the application looks as follow :

It is a window of the called type MDI, which acts as a container for several other windows, called secondary windows, than the User can open along the same working session. This window has its owns heading menus , as we will se later, but, when one of the secondary windows becomes the active window, the main window will only show the secondary window menus. For this reason, in order to access to the MDI windows menus, any secondary windows must be unloaded.

HEADERS MENUS

New Study: opens a secondary Windows to get the directory, identification and any other data for the new study. Open Existing Projects : opens a dialog box with the Windows Explorer directory tree, to allow the designer to look for any existing project, and load its data. Last projects : shows up to the 5 last projects we have been dealing with. By clicking on its name, the application will load its data and the window Scantlings will be open. Delete History : deletes the list (not the projects) with the last used projects. Exit . Closes the application Language : allows the User to select the language to be used by the application. Always start with Scantlings : when this option is ticked, the window Scantlings will automatically be shown when starting any new work session.

Change Window Picture : allows to select a new image for the Background of the MDI window. Delete Window Picture : no image will appear REMARK : Options selected with the menu Preferences are saved by the application, that will remember them while not further changes. Scantlings : Opens the window to work with scantlings properly. Materials : Open the window to work, modify or add, materials. Calculation of Beams : opens the modulus to calculate frames and continuous beams. ISO 12215-8 : rudders calculation (not yet available at this time) Help : Opens the Users Manual in pdf format

REMARK : The window Scantlings has its own menu Preferences, that IS DIFFERENT THAN the one we have just described, allowing the User to select specific preferences for working in scantlings. .

SCANTLINGS The window to work with scantlings looks like in the image, with two differentiate areas :

The left one shows all the elements forming the structure of the ship. The right hand area relates the properties of any of the precedent elements, as well as the results when applying them the ISO Standard 12215-5.

Clicking with the left button of the mouse over any one of the nodes in the left tree, the table in the right side will show its properties. Selecting any element in the window with the mouse left button and, then, clicking on the right button, several popup menus will appear, helping the User in some tasks as : Giving new data Modifying existing data Adding elements Explanations about required data : menu What is this? (see image) Etc.

The total amount of nodes, elements, in the left hand tree is unlimited. However, as every node needs to be linked to a table with its properties, the memory used can be very high and calculations speed may be affected. Within a complex project the number of nodes can become very high. Thats why, in order to avoid confusion, the selected node will appear with the mark so that we can know that the properties in the right hand table are its properties. On the other hand, if no node is marked with that icon, and we ask the application to do any calculation, we could get improper or not coherent results.

DATA INTRODUCTION The introduction of data, an always convoluted task in this kind of studies, has been fully simplified. Just we have to act, with the mouse left button, over the row which data we need to introduce : In many cases, there is no other solution that do it manually. By clicking on the specific row, the box will change its color and format. Now we can introduce or change the data.

The old data will be shown here

When possible, relevant option.

SCT opens several pop-up Windows in which we only have to select the

Units used by the Standard are not fully homogeneous. For example : The major (minor) dimension for a bulkheads panel must be in millimeters, while the load height for it has to be given in meters. The stiffeners spacing for a panel is given in millimeters, while its distance from the App is to be given in meters.

Etc. For this reason, the label in the left of the text box, show not only the item to be introduced but also its correct units. Besides of these facilities, not all the boxes in the table are to be fulfilled by the User, well because they are not necessary for the calculation, either because the application will deduce them from other previously given data. By instance, once introduced the waterline length, in fully loaded condition, and the vessel speed, SCT will calculate the coefficient V/ and will deduce if the ship is Displacement or Planning type. The boxes for these elements are marked with --- : we dont need to fulfill them.

In other cases, the element in the table (that is extracted from a generic template) is not applicable to the current item. The application, then, will write n.a. in its box : not applicable.

GETTING HELP There are two ways to get help : 1. At the top left of the window, among several other menus, is the one called Help. By clicking on it, a secondary window will appear with a list with the different available help topics.

Pressing in the left area, over the required item, the right hand area will show appropriate explanations. They are, usually, existing figures in the ISO Standard 12215-5. 2. Pressing in the main window over a node, label or box, first with the mouse left button and, then, with the right hand button, the What is This? pop-up menu will appear.

Pressing now on it, appropriate explanations will be shown to the User. Sometimes the application will indicate that does not exist such explanation, well because it is obvious or because we just have to choose among the possibilities listed in a pop-up window, making unnecessary more details.

DEFINING THE STRUCTURE The application shows a tree, similar to the one in the figure, with the different areas that a generic new project needs to have. We have, also, to define the plats an stringers needed to build any element of the several areas.. And, of course, we need some general data defining the overall ship. In this area, left part of the programs window, we dont need to write anything. Everything works by means of pop-up menus appearing when selecting a node and clicking, then, the right button of the mouse. It is possible to add or delete elements, or change their names. Every AREA can have as many elements, with different designations, as we consider necessary to fully define the ships structure and fully study its possible problems (se image) . First thing the application will do, when trying to add a new element, is asking us for a name for the tem, that gives it an unequivocal identification. Every possible element is considered to be formed by a plate panel, with transversal and longitudinal stiffeners (vertical and horizontal for vertical elements of the structure). Although some of them will not be necessary, it does not matter as we will not fill in the boxes in the table and no calculations will be performed about them. Those panels and stringers must be one of the previously defined in the upper part of the nodes tree, called Plates and Stiffeners. Example : The bottom panel Central will be formed by the Hand laminated of 8 mm thick and as stringers well use the Omega de 60x50x150, for frames, and Omega de 40x40x60, for longitudinal. We will see later how to indicate plates and stiffeners to be assigned to each element.

R.007, March 2012 TAN s.l.

SCT

In turn, when defining plates and stiffeners, we will have to specify the material they are made with, as well as the thickness, in case of plates. With stiffeners we have to indicate the profile type : flat bar, bulb bar, composed T, omega profile, etc. and to give the dimensions. All this will be carried out by introducing data in the boxes of the table that the application prepares for every element (pop-up Windows and text boxes) as mentioned before. Each table is activated by clicking on the correspondent nodes name in the left hand tree. .

When working with a plate, the following window will be shown :

Initially boxes with white back color do not contains any data and they have to be filled in as previously indicated, acting over the boxes in grey back color, mouse left button and/or right button. We have to give the thickness but, when it comes that the plates material is Glass, Carbon or Aramid, the application will include several additional rows, to receive data about mats, rovs, etc., that form every ply. In order to add a laminate : 1. Pick the corresponding row with the left mouse button.. 2. Act over the right mouse button : a pop-up menu will appear and we will select the option Add laminate. 3. Over the selected row will appear a pop-up list with the diverse available elements.

4.

Selecting one of and it will be incorporated in the selected row box.

And so on till complete all the plies needed for the laminate. There exists the option of Copy a Previous Combination combination in a previous panel . When choosing this option, a pop-up Windows appears with the list of existing panels. Selecting one of them, its mats-rovs will be copied in the actual table, starting with the row we have pickedup first (see point 1)

R.007, March 2012 TAN s.l.

SCT

Once this has be done, the button will calculate the physical properties of the current plate and the application will write them in the boxes of the table, without any additional action from our side . These properties will be taken into account at the moment of analyze the panels forming the structure.

Working with a stiffener the procedure is fully similar but we need to give also, its dimensions and, when dealing with glass, carbon or aramid, the composition for the laminate. There is a special option to put mat, rovs, only on the crown head. At this purpose the pop-up window undergoes a small change (see picture)

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE In the case of fibres , we have to fill the appropriate box : Evaluation Level of mechanical properties

A dropdown list appears with three options : EL-a : The physical properties of materials that we use for the various layers must have been derived by standard tests in the laboratory. These values have been indicated previously by the user in the window Materials of the application .The application will use the values entered by the user to calculate the stresses in each layer
.

EL-b : The physical properties are calculated according to the default values in tables C.4 to C.7, all based on the amount of fiber mass and the component of the layer. EL-c : The physical properties are calculated as for EL-b but the values deduced from the tables C.4 to C.7 will be multiplied by a factor of 0,8 Should be consulted and proper understanding of the Annex C of the standard ISO 12215-5, paragraphs 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5, before choosing the method used for the project under study In most instances, it will be in the builders interest to adopt level a or combination of levels a and b. Use of level c carries a considerable penalty since neither the actual fibre content by mass, nor the quality of fabrication can be quantified with any certainty.

WORKING PROCEDURE As it can be deduct from the precedent, the normal working procedure would be as follow : 1. DEFINITION Introduction of the general data for the ship Definition of the materials we need to use in this project : mats, rovs, types of steel or/and aluminum, woods, etc Define plates and stiffeners to be used at every zone. Specify the zones we need to divide the structure, which plate to use for every panel and type of stiffener for frames and longitudinals bordering the panel.

2.- CALCULATION Once all dimensions have been defined as well as the position of every element in the structure, the application will deduce the real properties for everyone, and comparing them with the ISO Standard 12215.-5 requirements. These requirements will appear on the fourth column of the table, marking with red color those properties below the requirements. 3.- CHECK Looking at the results we can decide the convenience or not of modifying elements properties, spacing of stiffeners, the plate assigned to each panel, etc 4.- ANALYSIS PLY BY PLY After properly tuned the structure, it is possible, if desired (sometimes it is compulsory) to carry out an analysis ply by ply. This analysis will provide the degree of acceptance of each layer and, as a result, the possibility of decreasing thicknesses without exceeding allowed design stresses and moments. The application carries out this task with no more than to act on the toolbars button indicated in annexed figure. All the necessary data are present in the different tables of the various elements and available to

SCT.

On a template, specially prepared for this purpose in MS Excel, and fully similar to the one showed in the ISO Standard 12215-5 , will be arranged the results of the analysis. Any amount of analysis can be performed and all of them will be added into a single Excel file.

5.- SAVE THE STUDY The toolbar in the figure allows the User to save data and results. It is very convenient to save them with some frequency in order to don not loose any one of them.

6.- OUTPUTS

SCT

The button in the toolbar of the Scantling window creates a document in MS Word with the data introduced for the study, the table properties for each element as well as the results for them. Writing in Word is a slow procedure and, given that the structure may have a lot of components, it may last several minutes.

In the calculations of each panel or reinforcement are used several pressures and coefficients that can be displayed in a separate subwindow, if we click on the figure. The list of results in MS Word also displays these values ANALYSIS PLY BY PLY The ply analysis for each panel or stiffener are shown directly in an Excel Work Sheet specifically prepared for this study.

You can access the existing studies using the button in Figure

DEFINITION OF MATERIALS This issue deserves a separate chapter and, in fact, the application has a separate window to deal with them, window that can be accessed through the header menu Materials.

On the windows left part, a nodes tree shows all the materials we have at our disposal. The table on the right part shows the physical or mechanical properties for the specific material we selected on the tree.

SCT incorporates a collection of materials that, probably, will be enough for the 90% of the options we
will ever shuffle in this issue. Although it is possible to modify the lists and the properties of every item, it would be preferable to consult to any distributor of the application to add or modify materials. When adding a new material, it is necessary to introduce all its mechanical properties. In the case of laminates, however, you only need to indicate the fiber content in %. The application, according with the formulas in the ISO Standard 12215- 5, will calculate them. When defining any plate, one of the text boxes in the properties Table will ask us for the Plates Material. Picking over this box a pop-up window will appear, with the list of all available materials. Quite similar procedure for stiffeners.
