Try the starting example
- Protected hull length (m)
- 8
- Maximum chosen fender spacing (m)
- 2
- Unprotected end margin each end (m)
- 0.5
- Fender count
- 5
- Equally spaced positions from protected-length start (m)
- [0.5,2.25,4,5.75,7.5]
- Actual spacing (m)
- 1.75
Try another scenario
- Protected hull length (m)
- 8.8
- Maximum chosen fender spacing (m)
- 2
- Unprotected end margin each end (m)
- 0.5
- Fender count
- 5
- Equally spaced positions from protected-length start (m)
- [0.5,2.45,4.4,6.35,8.3]
- Actual spacing (m)
- 1.95
Calculation method
Calculation method
Fender count
Protect [margin,L-margin]; n=max(2,ceil(span/maxSpacing)+1), include both endpoints.
Equally spaced positions from protected-length start (m)
Protect [margin,L-margin]; n=max(2,ceil(span/maxSpacing)+1), include both endpoints.
Actual spacing (m)
Protect [margin,L-margin]; n=max(2,ceil(span/maxSpacing)+1), include both endpoints.
Symbols and units
- a
- Protected hull length (m)
- b
- Maximum chosen fender spacing (m)
- c
- Unprotected end margin each end (m)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- User-selected geometric positions, no impact/load or berth-protection certification. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. User-selected geometric positions, no impact/load or berth-protection certification.
