ShipWeight 14.10 is now available, bringing powerful new features to enhance your weight engineering efficiency—especially for parametric estimation.
Key Updates:
- Re-Estimation & Variants Analysis – Create project variants and run re-estimations to track weight changes as input parameters evolve.
- Kickstart Your Parametric Estimation – Perform auto-estimation based on initial settings, then seamlessly transfer results to the main window for further refinement.
- Enhanced Parametric Method Overview – Gain a clearer view of weight group estimations with a new integrated display in the parametric estimation window.
For a deeper dive into these new features, see the details below. Feel free to contact us for an online presentation.
Re-Estimation & Variants Analysis
The new “Re-Estimate” function in ShipWeight allows you to automatically update all parametric estimates whenever one or more input parameters change. Additionally, a new “Variants” window lets you create estimate variants, each with its own set of input parameters.
You can run estimations for all variants automatically using the original estimation settings and easily compare results at both the weight group and aggregated levels. Updates are clearly highlighted, making it easy to see how input parameter variations impact the results.
Kickstart Your Parametric Estimation
The “Auto Weight and CoG Estimation” window in ShipWeight enables you to define initial conditions—such as detail level, estimation method, and coefficient extraction—before running an automated weight group estimation.
Results from different initial settings can be compared side by side, and a selected result set, along with its corresponding settings, can be transferred to the main window. From there, you can further analyze and refine the estimate using the parametric estimation window.
Enhanced Parametric Method Overview
A newly integrated table in the parametric estimation window now displays the available methods for the current weight group, along with their corresponding results.
This enhancement allows for easy comparison of estimation methods, and you can conveniently select your preferred method using a radio button next to each result.
