Tool Bar--Draft Survey

Draft Survey is used to find unknown weights, adjust deadweights and to know
the amount of cargo loaded or to simply compare two conditions. Details can be
found in operation manual. There are three options –
a. Reset DeadWt Constant
b. Assess DeadWt Constant
c. Draft Survey

To Reset Deadweight Constant

When user selects this option in Draft Survey he can update the deadweight
constant list to match the observed drafts. This constant is computed on basis of
difference between current drafts computed in your loading condition and the
observed drafts entered by user, when user presses "Compute" button in dialog.
When he presses "Continue" button, new Deadweight Constant with the name
"DRAFTSURVEY -<DATE>" is added. This notional weight which is distributed
over the full length in such a way as to get the desired Drafts and trim. On
clicking Adjust Dwt Constants it resets the deadweight weight by adding with
calculated deadweight and its location.
To Assess the Unknown Deadweight Component

When user selects this option in Draft Survey new dialog again with two options
viz:

i) Two Draft Survey ii) Loading Condition and Draft Survey

Two Draft Surveys

When user selects this option he can obtain the unknown deadweight component.
(Weight and Lcg) resulting from the difference between two draft surveys. i.e.
“Draft Survey1" & Draft Survey2".
Loading Condition and A Draft Survey

When user selects this option current drafts and displacement are displayed. User
can enter the observed drafts in "Draft Survey 2".After pressing "Update" button
unknown deadweight component (weight and LCG), resulting from the difference
between current loading condition and observed drafts, will be displayed. Further
user will be allowed to readjust his current loading condition i.e. contents of one
or two holds to match with the observed drafts.

Pressing "Continue" button will open new dialog for ‘Adjusting Weight & LCG’ with
cargo hold list.

In this dialog there are two options Inter Hold and Intra Hold that are two types of
adjusting weight and LCG in two selected holds. In case of vessels with Oil Cargos
instead of Hold cargos you will find only Inter Tank as LCG shifting is not
possible. If you are using this software for such vessel you will find Oil Cargo List
while ‘Adjusting Weight & LCG’.

Intra Hold

First the Adjustable Cargo weight is adjusted (added or subtracted) in the best
possible manner in both the selected holds Subsequently In this type desired LCG
is achieved by shifting the Cargo to be adjusted within the selected Holds from
one or both holds but it is not possible to shift cargo from one hold to the other
hold. Cargo is locally shifted within the hold (LCG is shifted) for the selected holds
to obtain the ship LCG based on observed drafts. To adjust LCG by shifting of
weight you have to select Inter Hold.
Inter Hold

First the Adjustable Cargo is adjusted (added or subtracted) in the best possible
manner in both the selected holds Subsequently , here you are trying to achieve
the desired trim by shifting some cargo from one of the selected holds to the other
for adjusting the Ship LCG.

Tool Bar—Compute:

a. Drafts & Trims: This calculates the drafts and trims. The results are shown
in the result bar. One can toggle between draft (extreme) & draft (marks) by
clicking on draft (extr) /draft (moulded). The Draft icon in the menu bar
does similar function.

b. Stability: This calculates the Stability for Intact\ Weather Criteria. The
results are seen in the result bar. The results can be viewed by selecting
the Stability-Graphical option from menu bar or select report from tool bar
and click on Stability—Intact/ Weather Criteria. The Stability icon in the
menu bar does similar function.
Tool Bar—Report:

All reports (after computing) pertaining to the vessel can be found here.

a. Loading Condition – This generates report of the Tanks and Dead weight
components and the Tank Settings.

b. Stability- The results for stability- Stability—Intact/ Weather Criteria are

generated here. The results can be viewed by selecting the Stability-
Graphical option from menu bar or in the result bar.

c. Brief Report- It gives a brief report of the Loading condition.

d. All Reports – This invokes a window in which all of the above reports can be
selected and seen.

TASKS TO PERFORM

Preparing A Loading Condition

When you load the software, it displays a Main Menu with options such as File, View,
Setup, Compute etc. It also displays the toolbar buttons, which give good substitute
to the menu items.

To prepare a loading condition, choose New Loading Condition from file menu. You
can also use either of the first two icons in the main toolbar. An existing Loading
Condition could be one of the Standard sets of Loading Conditions or one amongst
the Loading Conditions prepared earlier by the User. When you start with a New
Loading Condition, you will see a dialog box which is the Loa ding Condition dialog
box. In a new Loading Condition, CYBERMASTER presents you with views of all
Tanks or Holds in the respective Deadweight Components. You can now prepare
the loading condition the way you want.

When you Choose the Option ‘Existing Loading Condition/Sequence’, you are given
a windows “Open dialog box” where you can select the loading condition which you
intend to load from the directory of loading conditions with extension *.CND
displayed to you. You can change the name of the condition if you like and save it
under a new name to make a new condition or retain the same name.
 Click here to open NEW condition. On
clicking, a condition setup dialogue box
appears as given below.

Open from one of the existing loading

conditions. Or to open a loading

St
Standard Loading Condition: When you Choose the Option ‘Existing Loading
Condition’, you are given a windows “Open dialog box” where you can select the
loading condition which you intend to load from the directory of loading conditions
with extension *.STD displayed to you. They are standard conditions provided in the
‘Library of Standard Loading Conditions’. A Standard Loading Condition can be
loaded only as a non editable, read -only Condition.

If you want to create your Loading conditions using one of the Standard Loading
Conditions as a template, Copy this Condition and rename it with an extension
*.CND, leaving the original .STD condition intact.
After you say Ok in Standard Loading Condition, you will see that a window split
into 3 parts opens.

One of these windows displays a Deadweight Tree. Others are – Tank plan in right
top corner , Loading windows at centre and result of loading parameters on bottom.

The deck cargo is characterized by their ability to handle different shapes of cargo
with various LCG, From/To Frame, and VCG etc. in the same hold itself, hence
making itself available for any shape of loading in Fore and Aft, athwart ships and
Depth wise. The following variables are used in Deck Cargo Loading Window:

1. Name: The name of the broken Item.

2. From Frame: The start frame of Item (Should be inside the hold frames)
3. To Frame: The end frame of Item (Should be inside the hold frames)
4. Weight
5. Height from Tank top: Specifies the elevation of Item from Tank top
(And correspondingly VCG is calculated). This should be less than the deck
Height.
6. Height from Deck: Specifies the elevation of Item from Deck (and
correspondingly VCG is calculated). This should be less than the pre-
specified maximum allowable height of Deck Cargo.
7. LCG: LCG of Item. This should be inside the From Frame and To Frame of the
present Item. Otherwise CYBERMASTER shows error.
 8. VCG (Base): The VCG from Base. VCG is automatically calculated considering
the Cargo Height and Height from Tank top; it can also be entered manually,
but then the value should not go beyond the Cargo Height + Height from Tank
top.
9. Length: Length of the cargo item. This should be the distance between from
Frame and To Frame. If you enter the Length, then From Frame and To Frame
is automatically adjusted to occupy the length. And vice versa, if you change
the from / to frames, the length gets adjusted too.

10. Width: The width of cargo. Should not go beyond the breadth of Cargo Hold

11. Cargo Height

DAMAGE STABILITY

CYBERMASTER shows the damaged condition of various tanks as required.

Multiple tanks can be damaged simultaneously. Damaged stability and damage
strength can be calculated. CYBERMASTER gives immersion status, final
equilibrium position, trim & heel and the final content of the tank after damage.
Graphical view of profile, plan and the transverse sections are also given.
Transverse sections at various frame is shown in which various tanks boundaries
are also given Damaged compartments are shown hatched and the damaged
rectangle is given red color.

Two types of damages are provided:

 1) Total damage: Total damage damages the full tank and that much
buoyancy in lost, so final position of the vessel is given by the lost
buoyancy method.

2) User defined damage: In user defined damage user is free to give the
Longitudinal extend of damage i.e., the frames between which the damage
occurs, and also the edges in the transverse direction can be defined which
is given as inner edge and outer edge. Inner edge is the edge nearer to the
central line of the vessel and other edge is the edge towards the outer side.
Here user is free to damage bottom shell or side shell as required. In this
case the inflow of flood and the outflow of contents are calculated
considering the hydrostatic pressure balancing method.

Ship details-displacement, LCG and TCG- after damage are displayed on the
screen.

By moving the cursor in the longitudinal plan the frame number at the position of
the cursor is displayed at the left bottom corner of that section. User can click on
the tanks in this plan to select the tanks for damage and the corresponding tanks
get selected in the ‘Available Damage Tank’ list.

The report includes damage stability report and the strength report after damage.
The damage stability report gives the properties of vessel before damage and after
damage. The details of the damaged compartments and final GZ curve are also
included in the report. The damage strength report gives the graphical
representation of BM curve and SF curve after damage of the compartment. The
maximum values of BM and SF, its position and the BM and SF at various frames
are also given.

Steps to be followed for Damage Stability Calculation

TOTAL DAMAGE:

1. In Total Damage case, the whole tank is taken to be damaged completely.

2. Now click on the tank(s) to be damaged from the list of available tanks. This
tank is shown in the box provided after you click.

all the editable properties of this tank to be displayed in the boxes right on top of
the list of the “tanks selected for Damage”

4. The properties that are editable are permeability of damage is given

longitudinally by From frame and To frame. The extent of damage is given by
inner edge/outer edge in Bottom Damage case or by Top edge/Bottom edge in
Side Damage case. The user can edit these values and press UPDATE, hence
making these values updated for the present damage cases.

5. The user can view various damage sections in Section View graphical interface
or Plan/Profile graphical interface.

6. Press Compute Damage Stability

TROUBLE SHOOTING

The below listed difficulties are of general in nature and their remedies are typical.
This has been compiled out of the feed back received from users. There can be
external reasons due to which these errors are caused, and they need not be
necessarily because of the CYBERMASTER design whatsoever. All the remedies
detailed below are suggested assuming otherwise.

1. Crashes while printing / viewing print preview The problems associated

with print preview and printing is mainly because an incompatible printer
driver. This can be solved by installing a virtual printer driver chosen from the
Windows Default Printer Driver Database. The procedure for this is given in
README.TXT in the CDROM containing the CYBERMASTER setup and also
given in SECTION III of Operation Manual.

2. A message “AN UNSUPPORTED OPERATION WAS ATTEMPTED” or

Crashing on clicking tabs of Ballast Exchange or Sequencer This
message/Crash is due to the faulty registration of some components of
CYBERMASTER in the Windows registry. This message might come in
Sequencer or Ballast Exchange windows. To correct this problem, the user need
to copy a file named MSFLXGRD.OCX into the computer’s
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Then give the command REGSVR32
MSFLXGRD.OCX in the RUN option of Windows Start Menu. Then the expected
message is DLLREGISTERSERVER IN MSFLXGRD.OCX SUCCEEDED. Once
this is accomplished, there will not be further problems associated with the
functions.

3. Clicking on some deadweight categories / some particular tanks causes’

program crash This problem is due to faulty installation of CYBERMASTER. The
user should re-install the CYBERMASTER.

4. Crashes while starting CYBERMASTER or gives a message “A REQUIRED

DLL xx.DLL NOT FOUND”. These kinds of errors are due to incomplete
installation of CYBERMASTER. Most of the times it is seen that installing
DAOSETUP from the CYBERMASTER CDROM solves the problem. Please note
that DAO Setup is a necessary component to be installed while using
CYBERMASTER. Please read README.TXT in the CDROM containing the
CYBERMASTER setup or it is also given in SECTION III of Operation Manual.
5. Differences in drafts observed and drafts from CYBERMASTER
There can be a difference in the actual drafts observed onboard and those
calculated by CYBERMASTER. This is mainly due to the unknown deadweight
constants, which inadvertently get in to the Lightweight of the vessel with time.
Meanwhile, CYBERMASTER uses Trimmed Hydrostatics derived from the
Original Lines Plan of the vessel. But these unknown weights can be taken care
of by the Draft Survey option of CYBERMASTER. This function allows the user to
enter the observed drafts (at marks) and accordingly, automatically fixes the
deadweight constant’s position (LCG) and weight. The user can update these to
the ship’s original database through Deadweight Constants’ window and
henceforth simulate the actual condition of the vessel’s draft, trim etc. Please
read SECTION IV of the Operation Manual’s detail on Deadweight constants
and Draft Survey.

6. A difference in VCG / FSM while trying to reproduce conditions shown in

the Operation Manual
There can be a difference in VCG / FSM while trying to reproduce the
conditions in the approved Operation Manual onboard. In such cases, check
the General Setup Settings for the Standard Condition provided to you. This
may be set to Maximum value. If so, please be inferred that the Standard
Conditions are created with FSM VCG etc set to maximum (regardless of fill).
The same results can be achieved in your condition by setting the General
Setup to Maximum for whichever categories.

7. VCG / FSM values in sounding table and/or interface come with all
decimal points zero
The root cause of this kind of problems is generally due to the regional settings
of numbers and alphabets. The problem may be confirmed by checking
Sounding Table values taking all decimal places to be zeroes. In addition, the
user can confirm it by checking the comma separated decimal places in the
computer. This problem is caused due to regional settings of Windows.
