SUN:
Solaris 8.0
Note: NAPA Release 2008.2 is the last NAPA version supporting SUN (Solaris 8.0) and Windows 2000.
(* The latest update for Exceed 8.0.0 can be obtained by navigating to:
http://www.hummingbird.com/hummingbirdupdate/index.html
The patches deal with minor issues. The updates are cumulative which means that only the latest one needs to be
installed. However, according to Hummingbird there is no need to apply the patch if you do not encounter any problems
with Exceed.
(** Microsoft virtual machine (Microsoft VM) is included as a part of Windows XP SP1. NAPA Online Manuals use
the Microsoft VM for the search function.

Note! Sometimes Exceed 8.0.0 gives the error message "All xserver displays are in use. Exceed can not run without
a display. Please try again at a later time" when run on Windows Vista and NAPA can not be started. The easy work
around is to press left mouse button on the NAPA shortcut, and select "run as administrator".
3 Exceed version
The officially supported Exceed version for Release 2008.2 is Exceed 8.0. NAPA is basically compatible with the
newer versions of Exceed, for example, Exceed 11.0. There are no major improvements to the newer versions of
Exceed and there is therefore no need to upgrade to a newer version. Exceed 11.0 cannot be officially supported due to
the following known issues:
Memory leak. Exceed 9.0/10.0/11.0 reserves memory cumulatively and if NAPA is kept running constantly for a
long period of time, all memory will eventually be reserved. This is not a serious problem if NAPA + Exceed is shut
down a couple of times per week as the reserved memory is then released.
Scandinavian characters. The Scandinavian characters are not available with Exceed 11.0.
In addition to previous ones, there are several other known problems with Exceed 12 & 13 (2007 & 2008).
It is, however, possible to run NAPA on a computer with a lower performance. The absolute minimum hardware
requirements would be:
5 User manuals
Updated NAPA user manuals are delivered with the Release 2008.2.
The recommended browser for using the manuals is Internet Explorer. Mozilla can be used but it does not show the
search results' highlights correctly.
3 (8)
Please make sure that the JAVA Runtime Environment is installed on your computer. You can download the
software from www.java.com -> Download
3. Make sure that you have installed the latest browser updates.
Note: it is strictly not recommended to run NAPA system with any operating system version lower than indicated or
without the indicated service packs or patches.
6 License file
6.1 Napalicense
A new NAPALICENSE will not be delivered for this release. The license file delivered for the release 2008.1 is valid
also for the release 2008.2.
7 Installation instructions
The installation instructions for NAPA and Exceed are gathered into one PDF document. Please find the document
Installation_instructions.pdf on the NAPA Release 2008.2 installation media.

8 Grain Stability
8.1 Longitudinal divisions
One classification society wants to apply longitudinal division only for certain types of loads (filled and trimmed).
Previously NAPA either took the division into account or not into account for every type of load, or applied it
automatically if it was deep enough.
Now there are options in the parameters command, to specify for which loads divisions shall be applied. The default is
that a division is automativcally applied if it is deep enough, and this is probably the right setting for most users.
There is a possibility to list whether the division was active or not for a certain result. This is available as the quantity
INFO.
For partial loads, the rule in Part B-5.3 is applied, i.e. the effective length of the division is dependent on the distance to
the compartment walls sideways.
The placement of calculation sections has now been improved so that they are automatically placed at the end of a
non-continuous division, and at the places implied by the effective length of a partial load.
When loading Filled and trimmed, Filled with untrimmed ends or partial loads, the holes have no effect on the initial
voids.
For filled, untrimmed loads the grain will flow from the effective height, which is calculated from the actual grain
surface like for end beams.
When calculating the grain shift, the grain will flow through the holes at the highest level of the holes, i.e. the effective
height of the girder is from the deck to the highest point of the highest hole.

9 Manager applications
9.1 MGR*ENV
MGR*ENV, which is a Manager application for analyzing the longitudinal strength of a bulk carrier, has been
improved. Most of these improvements are related to shear force corrections. The correction can now be calculated for
damaged conditions. The user can also set the correction only for selected loading conditions. In addition, there are
several new lists and diagrams for output of longitudinal strength.

n=1,2,..., to the name of the parent damage. The generated #n named damages will have the same control number in the
damage and result tables. As there can be only one control number for each damage in the final calculation, the one
leading to the smallest s-factor will be chosen to be included for the final index calculated by the command CAL
TAB..SRULE=SOLASII-1. The final rule for factor s will be applied for the last stage and the intermediate rule for
possible preceding stages according to normal practice.
In case of 'GEN DAM..ACLASS=STA, the program adds the scenarios to one single damage as separate stages,
having the names #n, n=1,2,... The A-class boundaries divide the damage into several intermediate stages following the
spreading of water. The last stage is the largest one, i.e. having the greatest number of damaged compartments. The #n
named stages are independent stages meaning that rooms listed in possible preceding stages are ignored.
Also in these damages the final rule for factor s will be applied for the last stage and the intermediate rule for the other
stages according to normal practice when calculating by CAL TAB..SRULE=SOLASII-1.
11.4 The option CROSS of the command CAL and CAL TAB
It is now possible to generate several additional stages with the CROSS option of the CAL and CAL TAB commands,
e.g
CAL TAB... CROSS=(t1, t2...)
The option adds new stages to the end of the damage case. The stages correspond to the cross-flooding situation at times
t1, t2 etc... The cross-flooding times are calculated according to Resolution MSC.245(83) and the cross-flooding
arrangement is defined in the compartment connection table (argument CCONN). The added stages are called
CROSS<time>s, e.g. CROSS 60s and CROSS600s. Each time (t1, t2 etc) generates one additional stage provided it
does not exceed the total cross flooding time.
