MARS
2D ship structural assessment software

Software of MARS family may be used to perform the following assessments:

• Calculation of geometric properties of ship's sections
• Hull Girder Strength and Ultimate Strength criteria
• Local strength criteria of plates and ordinary stiffeners:
  - Yielding
  - Buckling
  - Fatigue
  - Minimum thickness
  - Sloshing and Impact in tanks
•  Assessment of cross‐sections and transverse bulkheads along ship length 

Advantages and main features of MARS:

• Easy modelling
• Powerful consistency and error checking
