Description

LoadPlanner CAD is a newly developed software that retains the core functionalities of its predecessor, LoadPlanner, while being tailored for contemporary use within a 3D matrix compatible with AutoCAD. This updated system maintains full compatibility with Ships Files generated by the previous LoadPlanner 4.1 version. Originally launched in 1986, LoadPlanner underwent a comprehensive reprogramming in 2012 to align with modern programming languages and enhance IT security. The software is structured around six primary systems, including a File Explorer that facilitates system setup, monitors recent files, and provides preview windows for various file types, such as PDFs. Additionally, it features a database that catalogues ship names along with their corresponding IMO numbers, ensuring swift access for users. Given that many users frequently travel and store files locally, a replication system allows for the seamless synchronization of all local project files with a server. Furthermore, the software supports cargo planning and management, crane simulations, and stability calculations, making it a comprehensive tool for maritime logistics. Overall, LoadPlanner CAD represents a significant advancement in load planning technology, integrating both historical reliability and modern capabilities.
