• StabCad has a ship stability package providing an
  interface to model the hull, simulate various
  (intact and damaged) conditions of floatation on
  it.
• Hydrostatic Curves
• Cross Curves of Stability and Curve of Static
  Stability
• Floodable length, permissible length Factor of
  subdivision
• Many more
