    Importing data

    In this tutorial we will import weight data from an Excel workbook. This can be doneusing the ShipWeight Data File Import (EasyImport)-dialog.

    To follow this tutorial, please open an appropriate project or create a new project. Ifyou have just completed the previous chapters, you are set. Otherwise, please referto chapter 2 for details on creating a new project.

    The Data File Import dialog (menu: Project Import Data file.) now has anextra layer called EasyImport which is designed to provide a wizard-like userinterface to guide the user through setting up and carry out the import step by step.

    First we browse and select the spreadsheet file. On the Assistant tab-sheet, wepress the Browse button. Using the Open dialog window, we locate the Excel file to

    import. Press the Open button to select the file Tutorial.xls.

    The Data File Import Dialog now supports the import of XLSX files in addition to XLSfiles.Once the Excel File has been selected, a preview of the sheet included in the file willbe shown. Then, the next step is to select the sheet to import.

  • 8/22/2019 SW 11 Tutorial

    21/58

    ShipWeightTutorial

    2010 BAS engineering AS 21

    When the sheet is selected, the import dialog will try to guess the mapping betweenthe columns in the spreadsheet and ShipWeight fields, based on the columnheadings in the spreadsheet.

  • 8/22/2019 SW 11 Tutorial

    22/58

    ShipWeightTutorial

    2010 BAS engineering AS 22

    Columns where mapping have been found automatically will get a green colour andthe mapping will be shown in the list below. If this mapping is wrong, you candeselect the column either in the sheet preview or in this list of linked columns.

    To manually add columns not automatically mapped, click on the column either in the

    preview sheet or in the column list and select the corresponding ShipWeight fieldfrom the ShipWeight list.

    An import can be run directly from the Import tabsheet (either to main database ortoPlayground area), or the mappings and settings can be transferred to the normaldata file import for more advanced settings and checking.

    This import definition list may be saved (click save button in the dialog) andrestored by clicking from the Open button later.

    23/58

    ShipWeightTutorial

    2010 BAS engineering AS 23

    Before we start importing data, we must set the import options. Click the Options tabsheet.

    First we will check off the option Auto ItemNostarting from. The reason for this isthat our spreadsheet doesnt contain a column for item numbers.

    Please note that the import will fail if you try to import data with item numbers alreadyin use in the database. If this is the case, please try to increase the number in theAuto ItemNo starting from field. Alternatively, check off the Update existing optionto overwrite items with identical item numbers.

    The Pad ItemNo button will change the format of the item number of existing items.First set the number of characters the item number should include. Pressing the PadItemNo button will add the digit 0 in front of the item number, so that the item numberincludes the proper number of characters.Please note that the option Number of header rows is disabled. The ShipWeightData File Import always assumes that the spreadsheet contains one header row.

    Starting a new project

    You can now either1. Start a new project using the Project data and Main Parameters of MS Breeze

    (see chapter 6 for details and chapter 2 Solution A for instructions)

    or

    2. Continue with the existing ship if you have followed the tutorial so far. You willthen need to delete the imported data. This is done by placing the cursor at

    the top (DIPSDisplacement) in the tree-view and chose Delete all under inthe Edit menu and confirm it. You will then have non weight items in thedatabase.

    Select historical Demo database

    To be able to follow the tutorial, the historical database must be switched to demomode. To do this, follow these steps:

    Select Options... from the View menu and select the Advanced tab. Next, select

    the browse button [...] and select the historical database sdb_Demo. Click OK tosave and close the options dialog.

    D Refining the estimate

    Navigate one level down to the Machinery, Equipment and Hullgroups. Select theMachineryweight group and enter the estimation dialog once more.

    Notice that the standard deviation is around 5%. Click on the two coefficient dots inthe graph that have the highest value. The ships coefficients are circled andnumbered 1 and 2. (note that you can choose zoom in the Graph menu)

    The comparison data for the two selected ships are now displayed in the columns inthe lower part of the estimation dialog. Notice that the two ships have extremely highengine power, 17013 and 17170 kW.

    Click on the Main-engine power text in the comparison area to highlight this value.Next, the Limits for comparison parameter dialog will open.

  • 8/22/2019 SW 11 Tutorial

    42/58

    ShipWeightTutorial

    2010 BAS engineering AS 42

    Enter 15000 as upper limit and 8000 as lower limit for the main engine power. ClickOK. The selection of coefficient plotted in the graph is now narrowed down to be onlythose main engines fitting the power limits between 8000 and 15000 kW.

    Notice that uncertainty standard deviation have gone down from about 5% to 2.3%.Because of the automatic scaling of the graph, it is hard to see this reduction ofuncertainty just from the graph. Tick off Zoom in the Graph menu to have a look atthe graph without scaling.

    To be able to estimate the uncertainty, the Std.dev of the Main Engine Power/1000parameter needs to be set. Double click the empty grid at the right of the parameterto open the Composite Parameterdialog. Set the Std.dev value to 0 and close thedialog.

    In the same way as in the example of the Lightship estimation, estimate the weightand uncertainty of the Machinery (select the regression coefficient).

    From the Wgt. Grp. menu, select Nextto get to estimation for the Hull weight group.Save if a change notification appears. Notice that the graph has no vertical plot line inthis weight group. This is because the plot variable is missing see the grid to theright of the area below.

  • 8/22/2019 SW 11 Tutorial

    43/58

    ShipWeightTutorial

    2010 BAS engineering AS 43

    Double-click the empty cell to enter a dialog for filling in the values of the Watson E-parameter. (If the plot parameter was a single value, for example Lpp, the valuecould be typed into the grid directly.)

    You can fill in the missing fields with the parameters in the above figure or in chapter

    7.

    Click Close.

    Now you can see the plot line parameter in the graph.

    Click on Length betw. Perp [m]cell in the comparison parameters grid to highlightits value. Next, select FilterLimits from the Graph menu in the estimation dialog.

    Enter 80 as upper limit and 60 as lower limit for the Length pp. Click OK. The

    selection of coefficients printed in the graph is now narrowed down to include onlythose vessels of length between 60 and 80 meters.

  • 8/22/2019 SW 11 Tutorial

    44/58

    ShipWeightTutorial

    2010 BAS engineering AS 44

    Now, by selecting the Subjective/Regression coefficient the user can see theestimation of the weight and uncertainty, in the same way as for the lightship weightgroup.

    Notice that the uncertainty standard deviation has gone down from about 10% to

    about 4.5 %.

    Using m ain parameter est imat ion methods:

    Due to missing/unavailable parameters of the Watson E-parameter, the method forweight group H-hull can be slow to use. However we can switch to Main Parametermethods to get a simpler estimation formula. Select the Main Parameteroption underthe Method menu in the estimation dialog. Now you will get an estimation formula forhull based upon the main parameters and you can estimate hull without the Watsone-parameter.

    On the Wgt.Grp. menu in the estimation dialog, select Next to get to the Equipmentweight group.

    Select the ship breadth and set filter limits for the ships breadth to be upper limit 22and lower limit 17. This will narrow the selection of the plotted coefficient and obtainbetter uncertainty. Again see the estimation of the weight and uncertainty, as done inthe previous weight groups.

    Close the estimation dialog by selecting Close under the Windows menu.

    The total lightship weight should now be about 7446 tonnes and with a totaluncertainty of 4%.

    Estimating VCG or LCG is done in the same way as estimation of weight. Just enterthe estimation dialog by selecting VCG orLCG instead ofWeightunder the Estimatemenu.

    E Successive calculations

    If the uncertainty has been calculated for all the estimates, it is possible to utilize asuccessive calculation method to determine which weight group should be estimated

    next. On the Std.devmenu in the main window, select Most uncertain, or click the

    corresponding button on the toolbar:

    ShipWeight will then take you to the weight group where the absolute standarddeviation is greatest. This will be the weight group where a further estimation andsplitting of the group will give the greatest impact on the total result. This will help youto focus on the most important weight groups.

    At this point of the estimation, the next weight group usually would be group H (Hull).Continue estimating the groups H1, H3, H4, H5, H7 and H8. For missing parameters,

    see chapter 7.

    F User defined estimation methods

    On the menu Estimate, click Define Methods The dialog window will show threemain areas with tree-resources. The area to the left contains the work breakdown

    structure. In this area, use the mouse to select the weight group Hull. The method forthis weight group will be shown in the area in the middle.

    You want the method for Hull to be W=k*(length^2)*breath*(depth^0.5) and plot thecoefficient against ship length. Select the estimation parameters and click once more,to reveal a combo box. Select on top of the list to clear the parameter.

    Select the plot parameter and delete it. Leave the comparison parameters as theyare.

    Under ESTIMATION, select a "length parameter" (e.g. Ship length over all) in thecombo box for No.1. Add breadth and depth parameters in same way (e.g. Bm Shipbreadth and hDM Depth to maindeck). Set the power parameters to be 2, 1 and 0.5.

    Under PLOT, select the "length parameter" again in the right area and click ADDbutton. Now you are done, select the OKbutton.

    To be able to use your own method do the following:Enter the main estimation dialog window in the weight group H Hull. From the menuMethodselect User defined. Now your own method will be applied when estimating.
