Scripts calculate properties of mooring chains, wires and ropes, given nominal diameter of link for chain or nominal diameter of the rope.
"moorchain.py" - calculates properties of mooring chain, Studless and Studlink.
"moorwire.py" - calculates properties of:
- Nylon rope
- Polyester rope
- Polypropylene rope
- Wire rope with fibre core
- Wire rope with wire core
Results are written in "txt" - file in working directory.
In order to run scripts, one will need to add to "python-path" function file "inout.py", which may be downloaded here. Note: Although full attention had been given to accuracy of the scripts, and they never failed on me, use results as preliminary and wherever it is possible use original maker's data.
