Abstract :
This paper describes a method for evaluating the ship equilibrium point. The ship floating condition is calculated using a FEA-like method (Finite Elements Analysis) on a set of 3D meshes related to the exact 3D geometry of the ship hull and its compartments, the distribution of all weights onboard and/or a damage condition (declared by the operator) and data (automatically acquired by the system). Although the bases of the work back to 2009, the proposed paper describes the lessons learned and the new developed functions for the architecture based on low cost embedded devices.
