How are bulkhead correction factors for shear force implemented in Calc?
The shear force correction for bulk carriers with alternate holds loaded with ore, was implemented in Calc M2 build 9 (07/03/2002). The bulkhead factors are entered on the BM and SF limits screen. Note that the bulkhead factor is applied to the hold forward of the bulkhead. Only locations with a non-zero factor, are considered to be hold boundary bulkheads, which implies that the forward bulkhead of the foremost hold must be given a factor, although this will not be used. To apply the correction, the Shear Force Correction trigger must be set on the Loading Condition Options page.
