0. General

0.1. Introduction
Pegasus has been developed by DNV to support recording and assessment of thickness
measurement data. This can be done in two different ways: Either by entering
measurement data into tables (the so-called table-based functionality) or by assigning
thickness measurements to an existing 3D model of the ship structure (the so called 3D
functionality).

The program is protected by a license file which defines the scope of functionality. In
particular the availability of table-based, and 3D functionality is determined by the
feature releases of the license files.

The main features of Pegasus are:

• Spreadsheet like tables, allowing easy data input and clear presentation of
measurements results.

• Comparison of the measurement data against the specific maximum allowable

diminution of the respective structural part.

• Dynamic hot spot list showing the most critical areas with respect to degree of
corrosion.

• Generation of reports in the format required by IACS1.

• XML based data format for exchange, storage and transfer of thickness
measurement data.

For the table-based functionality of Pegasus, the measurement recording tables have
been designed to simplify input of data as much as possible. Furthermore, their layout is
similar to the tables commonly used for TM reporting according to IACS.

The main features of the table-based functionality are:

• The results of the comparison of the measurement data against the specific
maximum allowable diminution are coloured in the tables according to the
degree of corrosion.

• The generated reports contain tables, assessment results as well as related

documents, e.g. sketches.

1 IACS, Unified Requirements Z, Survey and Certification

 • Support for Enhanced Survey Program (ESP) assessment of corroded structures.

• Support for Condition Assessment Program (CAP) of corroded structures

The 3D functionality of Pegasus offers assignment of readings to the structural parts of

the ship structure by user defined views of the 3D model. Subsequently a TM report
according to IACS1 can be generated automatically.

The main features of Pegasus 3D functionality are:

• Creation of printouts based on the 3D model to be used for the real

measurement process.

• Provision of approved scantlings for the structural parts by the 3D model.

• 3D views of the structure and measurements with a linked tabular measurement

data representation. Changes in the graphical view are reflected in the list and
vice-versa.

• The results of the comparison of the measurement data against the specific
maximum allowable diminution are coloured in the graphical view according to
the degree of corrosion.

• The generated reports contain the IACS required tables with automatically
created sketches of the measured structure and assessment results.

• Data Interfaces to POSEIDON to generate the geometry and the plates/profiles

from the POSEIDON model and to transfer the measurement values to
POSEIDON, if required.

The default command can be used to reset the options back to the default settings.

0.5.8.1. General Options

Under the “General” options tab (Figure 5) the auto save function can be enable or
disabled. If it is enabled an auto save interval can be defined. We recommend enabling
auto saving.

The option “automatic check for updates on startup” specifies whether the Pegasus
update server should be contacted to search for program updates on startup.

18 / 151
 Figure 5: General Options

0.5.8.2. TM-Table Creation Options

Some TM-tables can be preconfigured according to the size of the ship. For instance the
number of rows is known when the steel drawing of the ship is available (strake length in
the TM-1). The same holds true for cross sectional tables TM-2(i) and TM-2(ii), see
Figure 6.
 Figure 6: Table options

For tables of type TM-1, the default number of plates in strake fore and aft from
amidships can be defined, see Figure 7. If the numbers to fore and aft end are different,
the maximum should be chosen. For example, setting this value to 5 will result in 11
rows, 5 forward, 1 mid ship, and 5 aft.

Figure 7: predefined number of plates in strake (for TM-1)

20 / 151
For tables of type TM-2(i), the default number of strakes between stringer and centre can
be specified, see Figure 8.

For example, setting this parameter to 3 results in 5 rows for the TM-2(i): 1 stringer
plate strake, 3 strength deck strakes, and 1 sheer strake.

Figure 8: predefined number of strakes TM-2(i) options

For tables of type TM-2(ii), the default number of shell strakes can be specified, see
Figure 9. While sheer strake and keel strake is fixed, the number of strake for side shell,
bilge and bottom can be given.

For example, 2 side shell strakes, 2 bilge strakes and 2 bottom platting strakes, result in
7 (keel strake taken into account) rows in the TM-2(ii) form.

Figure 9: TM-2(ii) options

The behaviour of the table editing can be changed using the last two options.

Movement of the cursor on pressing the enter key can be switched by the last option.
The cursor can move top to bottom or left to right on pressing enter. When left to right
movement is chosen, the cursor moves into the next line when leaving the last editable
cell in a line.
0.5.9. Getting Help

Rule Set input:

If the Pegasus table-based project was not provided by DNV the applied rule set can be
changed by clicking the Change button left beside the name of the current applied rule
set. This will open a window listing all possible structural members that can be used for
table-based measurement recording. Clicking the Change button of this window will
open a window allowing the selection of the rule set to apply (see Figure 18).
 Figure 18: Change of Rule Set

Editing Structural Member Types:

Pegasus table-based functionality comes with a predefined list of structural member

types and referring rules for the computation of the maximum diminutions. These
predefined structural member types can be extended by subtypes enabling the definition
of different corrosion margin rules for structural parts of the same structural member
type but located at different areas.

30 / 151
 Figure 19: List of predefined structural member types

Using the insert and remove line buttons of the local toolbar (see Figure 19: List of
predefined structural member types) allow creation and deletion of structural member
subtypes. The name of a subtype can be chosen arbitrarily, the diminution formula can
be defined by the following syntax:

GL Compute maximum allowed diminution acc. to legacy GL formula

(default)

<xx> mm Maximum allowed diminution is defined by an absolute value, e.g.

1.5mm

<xx>% Maximum allowed diminution is defined by percentage of the

original thickness, e.g. 20%

<xx>%+-<yy>mm Maximum allowed diminution defined as combination of absolute

and percentage value, e.g. 20% + 1mm

2.2. Compartments
For some kind of measurement campaigns, e.g. CAP and ESP, it’s necessary to provide a
statistics based on compartments - hence there is a need to assign readings to
compartments.

In case of table-based recording using table-based functionality this requires a manual

assignment of readings to the related compartment(s) in the different measurement
tables TM-xx.

34 / 151
2.2.1. Compartment Definition

Creating a new project for table-based recording using table-based functionality there
won’t be any compartment definition unless the project is provided by DNV in the case of
a measurement campaign according to TM-7S31. Every compartment in scope of
measurements has to be created. That can be done via the compartment menu or via the
local toolbar button of the TM-Tables (see Figure 20). Using the local toolbar button
opens a dialog; see Figure 21, where the name must be specified. The type (or purpose)
of the compartment has to be chosen from a predefined list.

Figure 20: Compartment creation via local TM-Tables toolbar

Figure 21: Compartment creation dialogue

All compartment definitions are contained in a table accessible via the Compartments
menu provided by the General Data panel, see Figure 22. Previously defined
compartments can be edited or deleted while new compartments can be created directly
in the table.

Side Portside, starboard side or centred

2.2.2. Compartment Assignment with table-based

Functionality

In order to assign a compartment to a reading with table-based functionality the

compartment columns must be enabled (show/hide compartment column toggle), see
Figure 23.

36 / 151
 Figure 23: Compartment results, additional compartment columns

Left-clicking a compartment cell and selecting a defined compartment from the drop-
down list assigns the reading to a compartment. In order to assign the same
compartment to several readings, simply select all cells or the whole column. Then use
the set data function to assign a value simultaneously.

For newly created TM tables of type TM-1, TM-2(i) and TM-2(ii) (see section 3.3) default
compartments will be created and assigned as front compartments to the readings
according to the following scheme:

Structural Member of Reading Compartment Assignment

Strength Deck Plating Strength Deck

Stringer Plate Strength Deck

Side Shell Plating Side Shell

Sheer Strake Side Shell

Keel Plate Bottom Shell

Bottom Shell Plating Bottom Shell

Bilge Plating Bottom Shell

Note: In case of a thickness measurement campaign performed for CAP assessment

front and reverse compartment have to be assigned to the readings; otherwise
only front compartment assignment is sufficient.

3. TM-Tables
According to the IACS3 thickness measurements have to be reported in specific forms. In
case of table-based functionality, the software supports the IACS reporting forms TM-1,
TM-2, TM-3, TM-4, TM-5, and TM-6. For bulk carriers additional forms TM-7 and TM-
7S312 are supported. Forms TM-1 to TM-7 can be generated by the user. Due to
precalculations needed to set up the TM-7S31, this form will be provided by DNV to the
ship owner for every single ship prior to the measurements. Bulker and tankers built
according to the Common Structural Rules (CSR-BC, CSR-OT) have to be reported in
special forms which are automatically provided by Pegasus if the applied rule set is set to
CSR.

(In case of 3D functionality the IACS tables TM-1, TM-2, TM-3, TM-4, TM-5, TM-6 and
TM-7 will be created automatically from the readings assigned to the 3D model -
nevertheless the TM-tables can also be created manually e.g. for parts of the structure
which does not exist in the 3D model.)

Every reading is located on a structural part (plate/stiffener) belonging to a structural

member (main deck, shell, etc. ). For each plate or stiffener the maximum allowable
diminution is determined from the respective structural member and the original
thickness.

Note: In case of local corrosion the corrosion margin is set to 30% of the original
thickness as default. Depending on the type of corrosion, this local corrosion
margin can be overwritten as defined by the attending surveyor.

The necessary steps to establish the assignment for different table types are explained in
detail in the following sections.

Note: All values have to be entered with decimal delimiter according to country specific
local, i.e.. 10,5 in German and 10.5 in English.

All values have to be entered in [mm].

The original thickness has to be entered in accordance to the thicknesses

approved by DNV for the vessel to be measured.

Measurement assessment

For some measured values a rating symbol in the Diminution column A is shown. This
symbol is used to indicate a specific degree of corrosion or a warning that is related to

2 IACS, Unified Requirements S, Strength of Ships

48 / 151
this measurement, for example a measured value that exceeds the original thickness or a
case where the maximum diminution can’t be determined correctly, see Table 1.
Substantial corrosion
Substantial Corrosion is an extent of corrosion such that assessment of corrosion pattern indicates a
wastage in excess of 75% of the maximum allowable diminution, but within acceptable limits.
Structural part has to be replaced
In case of corrosion which exceeds the maximum allowable diminution the corresponding structural
part has to be renewed.
Measured value exceeds original thickness

maximum diminution can’t be determined from structural member

Table 1: Assessment symbols

3.1. Table Creation

Selecting TM-Tables from the project panel will open the menu for recording the
thickness measurements based on tables. The IACS3 compliant reporting tables can be
generated by the local toolbar of the Tables panel, see Figure 25. The different types TM-
1 to TM-7 are available according to the ship type.

Note: TM-7 is not available for tankers.

 Figure 25: Table creation via toolbar

A new created table opens immediately. Existing tables are listed in the table tree of the
measurement Table panel. They can be opened by a single or double left-click. A table

and its content can be deleted ( ) or copied ( ) by the local toolbar icons or by right
mouse click on a selected table. If a table is copied, it will be inserted below the selected
table and all table content will be copied except the measured values and attached
sketches.

Note: For each table type, the tooltip specifies which structural members are supported

3.2. Table Basics

All tables are organized in the TM-Tables panel as tree, see Figure 26. Single or double
left-click on each node opens the table and places the cursor at the top left cell. A small
orange or red dot on the table icon shows if the related table contains structural parts
assessed as “to be renewed” (red) or with “substantial corrosion” (orange).

3.2.1. Table Organization

The order of measurement tables can be changed by moving a selected table via drag
and drop up and down. Furthermore folders can be used to better organize measurement
tables. The report created uses the same table ordering as within the table tree folders.

3.3. Table Types

3.3.1. TM-1 Deck, Bottom and Side Shell Plating

TM-1 tables, see Figure 30, shall be used for recording of thickness measurements of:
• All strength deck plating within cargo length area.
 • Keel, bottom shell plating and bilge plating within the cargo length area.
• Side shell plating that is all wind and water strakes within the cargo length area.
• Side shell plating that is selected wind and water strakes outside the cargo length
area.

The strake position shall be indicated as follows:

• For strength deck indicate the number of the strake of plating inboard from the
stringer plate.
• For bottom plating indicate the number of the strake of plating outboard from the
keel plate.
• For side shell plating give number of the strake of plating sheerstrake and letter
as shown on shell expansion.

For oil tankers all deck plating strakes are to be recorded, for ore/oil and bulk carriers
only the deck plating strakes outside line of openings are to be recorded.

Measurements are to be taken at the forward and aft areas of all plates and the single
measurements recorded are to represent the average of multiple measurements.

For Oil tankers additional measurements have to be taken where plates cross
ballast/cargo tank boundaries, here separate measurements for the area of plating in
way of each type of tank are to be recorded.

3.3.10. TM-# Unified Transverse Recording

TM-# tables, see Figure 47: TM-# (non CSR), can be used for simplified recording of
thickness measurements at a certain frame position. Instead of using different table
types for recording at one frame, TM-# table offers the possibility to record thicknesses
of longitudinal and transverse structural members in the same table.

When creating the UTM report the measurements will be automatically distributed to the
standard IACS TM tables depending on the referring structural member of the reading.

TM-# tables can be used for measurement recording at a

• transverse section

or at a

• web frame ring including adjacent structural members

In case of a transverse section TM-2(i), TM-2(ii), TM-3, TM-4 and TM-5 will be used as
table types in the report, in case of a web frame ring only TM-3, TM-4 and TM-5 will be
used.

3.4. Data Import Data Import

In most cases measurement data are entered into the tables only after the measurement
campaign has finished. To support recording of data by several persons, the software
allows file merging in case of table-based functionality. To merge two or more files, it is
mandatory that all files have the same Main Particular data. At least IMO number, ship
name and applied rule set and the internal measurement campaign id must be identical.
The following procedure is highly recommended for a smooth data import:

1. Create a basic project file including all ship specific general data (to be
defined in the Main Particular and Compartments sub-items of the
General Data panel).

2. Create a copy of this file for all involved persons.

3. After finishing data collection, gather all files at a single place and import
them back to the basic file, one-by-one.

The import comprises transfer of all tables, attachments corresponding to tables and
compartment definitions.

To run the file import, select “Import …” in the File menu, see Figure 49. A file dialog will
open allowing selecting the file to be imported.

84 / 151
 Figure 49: Data import

Note: The merging of files is only supported for pure table-based measurements
(table-based functionality)

3.5. Stainless Steel

To enable the Stainless Steel functionality, you must set the Stainless Steel checkbox in
Main Particulars. When set, each T-table gets a Tr-State checkbox instead of the normal
one. If the reading is defined as Stainless Steel the Diminution/Corrosion will be
calculated according to Stainless Steel rules.

4. TM-3D-Model
Performing 3D based measurement recording, i.e. using Pegasus 3D functionality,
requires a model of the ship structure given in HCM format. This HCM format describes
the structural model in terms of plates and stiffeners with 3D shapes, properties and
affiliation to structural members and compartments4.

Figure 52: Principal 3D Model setup as defined by the HCM standard

Note: The assignment of structural parts to compartments and structural members is

model inherent and is not part of Pegasus. Hence Pegasus will represent
compartments and structural members as they were defined by the model setup.

Assigning readings to this 3D model requires a graphical view displaying the structural
parts where thickness measurement shall be carried out. Within this view readings are
created by mouse click on the shown structural parts storing information about the
location of reading (3D coordinates) and the referring structural part with approved
thickness and maximum allowed diminution. Views can be arbitrarily created and stored
with Pegasus to allow specific measurement recording.

Note: A view is just a utility allowing recording of readings independent from any
assessment or reporting requirements. I.e. a view can be deleted without any
impact on recorded readings, their assessment or report generation.

4.1. View Creation

Selecting 3D Views (see above) from the project panel will open the menu for recording
the thickness measurements based on a 3D model. Views can be created by the local
view toolbar providing four methods for convenient view creation with minimum data
input: Cross section view, strake view, compartment view and an overall view. Each view
can be modified after creation using the 3D Part Filter, explained in section 4.2.1.1 to
adapt the view to the necessary requirements, e.g. adapt a view to have a closer look
into structural details.

The Bounding Box filter allows restraining of structural parts to be displayed by the
following settings:
Xmin Frame number defining the foremost x coordinate of the displayed model. If checkbox not ticked,
frame number is set to the minimum frame number of the model.

Xmax Frame number defining the aftermost x coordinate of the displayed model. If checkbox not ticked,
frame number is set to the maximum frame number of the model.

Ymin Coordinate defining the outermost starboard y extension of the displayed model. If checkbox not
ticked, coordinate is set to the minimum y coordinate of the model.

Ymax Coordinate defining the outermost portside y extension of the displayed model. If checkbox not
ticked, coordinate is set to the maximum y coordinate of the model.

Zmin Coordinate defining the lowest z extension of the displayed model. If checkbox not ticked, coordinate
is set to the minimum z coordinate of the model.

Zmax Coordinate defining the highest z extension of the displayed model. If checkbox not ticked,
coordinate is set to the maximum z coordinate of the model.

The Compartments filter list allows restraining of structural parts to selected

compartments. The filter list has the following columns:

S. Checkbox for selecting compartments to be shown in the view.

Name Name of compartment.

Type Type of compartment.

The Structural Member filter list allows restraining structural parts to selected structural
members. The filter list has the following columns:

S. Checkbox for selecting structural members to be shown in the view.

Name Name of structural member.

Type Type of structural member.

Description Description of structural members.

The Compartments and Structural Member filter list can be sorted by each column via
clicking on the column header. All items can be selected and deselected at once by a click
of the right mouse button at the filter list.

Note: Remember to select at least one Structural Member filter to create a view with
visible parts. The Compartments filter does not influence the visibility of the
structural members.

Note: The Bounding Box, Compartments and Structural Member filter lists are
interconnected. I.e. an activated bounding box filter restrains the compartment
and structural member filter list to those compartments and structural members

 Figure 70: Folder organization of views

4.2.4. Reading Editing

Once a view is created, a reading can be created on any displayed structural part by left
mouse click after activating the reading creation mode in the 3D toolbar (see section
4.2.1.2.) The created reading will be displayed as small icon on the structural part and as
new row in the view list showing the referring properties of the reading. Depending on
the kind and spatial orientation of the structural part, different shapes of icon will be
used:

Reading is on longitudinal plate

Reading is on transversal plate

Reading is on longitudinal stiffener

Reading is on transversal stiffener

Readings are created with an undefined measured thickness value, indicated with a white
coloured icon and value UNDEF in the referring cell in the view list. After a reading is
created, the focus will be changed from the graphic to this cell to facilitate measurement
value entering. If a thickness value is entered for the reading, the icon will be coloured
according to the following scheme:

Figure 71: Colouring scheme for reading icons and structural parts

Readings can be deleted either by selecting the referring row in the view list and pressing
the DEL key or by activating the reading deletion mode in the 3D toolbar (see section
4.2.1.2.) and selecting the reading to be deleted in the graphic.

Readings can be moved within the referring structural part by activating the reading
movement mode in the 3D toolbar (see section 4.2.1.2.), selecting the reading in the
graphic and move it by drag and drop to the new position. If the <CTRL> key is pressed
during this operation, the reading can also be moved to any other structural part in the
graphic.

5. Results
Selecting Results from the project panel provides access to different lists comprising
readings with a degree of corrosion beyond predefined limits as well as a compartment
based statistic, see Figure 72. These lists are dynamic, i.e. they are updated every time a
new reading is entered.

Figure 72: Results sub-panel

5.1. Readings
The reading list (see below) shows all readings defined in the project (with or without
defined measurement value) and provides individual properties for all readings like

to be renewed are generated according to both the IACS UR S31 requirements as well as
the GL-corrosion criteria whichever criterion is stricter. This hotspot list is only available
for readings recorded in tables of type TM7-S31 using table-based functionality.
The hotspots list can be sorted in ascending or descending order by each column by
double clicking on the column header. Sorting by column Frame No yields the default

5.4. ESP Assessment (Deprecated)

Note: This feature is deprecated since version 2.2.0 and only available for DNV users
having a special license file.

For ships carrying the class notation ESP (Enhanced Survey Program) a survey scope in
accordance to IMO-Resolution A.744(18) as amended is required. Notation ESP will be
assigned to oil tankers, chemical tankers, bulk carriers and combination carriers in
accordance to IACS UR Z11.

ESP requires among other things the determination of maximum and average thickness
diminution for defined locations and areas. Pegasus table-based functionality helps to
evaluate these statistical values from the recorded thickness measurements stored in the
thickness measurement tables. The ESP assessment is accessible as icon of the Result
panel and creates a window with input and output tab.

Figure 76: ESP assessment

5.4.1. ESP Location Definition

Depending on the ship type and survey cycle different locations and areas must by
inspected. The following locations and areas are supported:

 Table 2: ESP locations for which maximum and average thickness diminution
may be calculated

The location of Transverse Section, Wind and Water Strakes, Superstructure Deck Plating
and Deck Plating and Under Deck Structure inside line of Cargo Hatch Cover will be
defined by the ESP assignment table shown in Table 2. For each of these ESP locations
the TM tables to be considered can be selected by a check box. Selecting TM tables for
different frames for the Transverse Section area will result in maximum and average
thickness diminution output for each frame.

Figure 77: Assignment of TM tables to special ESP locations

The assignment table can be sorted with respect to a column by double clicking on the
column header. For instance all TM tables referring to a special frame can be easily
accessed by sorting the assignment table according to the frame number. Additionally
the assignment table can be filtered according to the ESP locations currently worked on.
Hide / Show columns used for table assignment to a transverse section

Hide / Show columns used for table assignment to the wind and water strake

Hide / Show columns used for table assignment to a super structure deck plating

Hide / Show columns used for table assignment to deck plating and under deck structure inside line

Note: For correct ESP assessment it is mandatory to use TM tables as intended by

IACS and to assign each reading to a compartment!

5.4.2. ESP Location Result

For each ESP location as defined in Table 2 the maximum and average diminution in
terms of percentage to the original thicknesses (“ESP values”) are shown in the output
tab of the ESP assessment. The ESP results are grouped according to the defined
compartments, the transverse sections for each frame and the automatically created ESP
locations Keel Plate, Bottom Shell Plating, Bilge Plating, Side Shell Plating, Sheerstrake,
Strength Deck Plating, Stringer Plating. For each compartment the referring ESP values
of transverse webs (and adjacent structural members), shell frames and transverse
bulkheads are listed (see Figure 78 ).

Figure 78: Maximum and average thickness diminution results for ESP areas

Placing the mouse pointer over a cell of the “Areas” column will display a summary of the
considered TM table as tooltip. Additionally the ESP output table can be filtered according
to the different ESP locations:
Hide / Show rows showing ESP values for transverse sections

Hide / Show rows showing ESP values for the wind and water strake

Hide / Show rows showing ESP values for a super structure deck plating

Hide / Show rows showing ESP values for deck plating and under deck structure inside line of cargo

Note: Filtering does not affect the ESP value computation.

5.5. Statistics
The scope of the measurement campaign as well as a distribution of readings according
their degree of corrosion is provided by the icon Statistics of the Results panel.

Figure 79: Project statistic

The distribution of all tables included in the project file according their types is shown on
the right-hand side. Detailed information about the readings are summarized on the top
left hand side, see Figure 79. They are grouped according their degree of corrosion
(normal, substantial, renewal required) and suspect groups like Unknown (no maximum
allowable diminution available) and Negative (measured value exceeds original
thickness). Some general information like number of compartments and number of
available structural members and a file identification number (check sum) is shown as
well.

These statistic results will appear in section “Campaign Statistics” when a report is
created.

120 / 151
5.6. CAP Assessment
CAP assessment requires among other things a statistical assessment of the corrosion
condition of each compartment. Pegasus table-based functionality helps to evaluate
these statistical values from the readings recorded in the thickness measurement tables.
A prerequisite for this assessment is that the readings are assigned to the related
compartments (i.e. if a reading is located on a plate shared by two compartments it has
to be assigned to both front & reverse compartment, if stiffeners are shared by two
compartments the front compartment only, this is respectively the compartment where
measured. See Figure 80: CAP Assessment Front- & Reverse-Compartment

Figure 80: CAP Assessment Front- & Reverse-Compartment

5.6.1. CAP Results

A list of all compartments is shown displaying the share of readings of in the

compartments having different levels of degradation (see Figure 81: CAP Assessment).
The degradation within a compartment is further itemized into the main structural
elements Deck, Side, Bottom, Inner bottom, Inner Deck, Long. Bulkhead, Trans.
Bulkhead, Internal Structure and Hatches&Coamings derived from the referring structural
members of the readings (see Table 3: Mapping Structural Member Types to CAP Sub
Structures)
 Figure 81: CAP Assessment

List columns

Name Name of compartment (or main structural element within the

compartment)

Readings Number of readings assigned to compartment (or main structural element

within the compartment)

% of all readings Percentage of all readings assigned to compartment (or main structural
element within the compartment)

CAP 1, CAP 2, CAP 3, Percentage of all readings assigned to main structural element within the
CAP 4 compartment having CAP 1, 2, 3, 4 rating

Rating CAP rating of main structural element within the compartment

Selecting a row in the table will display the degradation of the selected compartment by
different types of diagrams on three tabs:

Relative Diminution Distribution: Diagram showing percentage of readings over

percentage of diminution w.r.t. maximum allowed
diminution. Display of lines showing distribution for
Deck, Side, etc. can be disabled by local toolbar (see
Figure 81: CAP Assessment).

Absolute Diminution Distribution: Diagram showing percentage of readings over

percentage of diminution w.r.t. original thickness.
Display of lines showing distribution for Deck, Side,

122 / 151
 etc. can be disabled by local toolbar (see Figure 81:
CAP Assessment).

Relative Diminution Histogram: Histogram showing number of readings for

different levels of diminutions w.r.t maximum allowed
diminution.

Each diagram can be exported in .jpg format (by context menu) or all diagrams at once
via the local toolbar (see Figure 82: Local Toolbar for CAP Assessment)

Figure 82: Local Toolbar for CAP Assessment

Note: The CAP ratings are computed based on the original material thickness and the
measured thickness value. In case a renewed material thickness is given in
Readings or Hotspot list, this value will be used instead of the measured
thickness.

Note: The first row in the CAP results table provides the CAP statistic for “All readings”.
The number of readings stated here equals the sum of all readings taken but is
in general NOT equal to the sum of readings for the above listed compartments.
This is due to double assignment of readings to compartments.
All readings not assigned to any compartment are listed in the next to last row
named “Unassigned”.

breadth of a stiffener flange.

5.7.1. Longitudinal Strength Assessment Input

Each “Frame Number” defined as frame station in TM-1, TM-2(i) and TM-2(ii) can be
assessed for longitudinal strength. The user decides in the “Frame Selection” panel which
of the available frame stations shall be investigated. For all selected frame stations the
readings of the above listed structural member types are collected and listed in cross
section tables:

Figure 83: Cross section table compiling all relevant readings for one frame

To compute the average diminution the user has to define the dimension of the related
structural parts for each reading. In case of plating related readings the user has to
define the plate breadth, in case of readings on stiffeners the user has to define the type
of the profile (Flat bar, L-profile, T-profile or Bulb-profile whereas the specific type of
Bulb-profile is defined by the global bulb profile type setting defined in the Main
Particulars menu) and the related web height and flange breadth.

In case of a bulb profile the user needs to select the web height from predefined heights
as defined by the industry standards for the specific bulb profile. If the web thickness
does not match with an industry standard (see Bulb Profile Industry Standards), the
related dimension cell is coloured light blue.

The web height defines the total height of the profile, the flange breadth the total
breadth of the profile (see sketch below). I.e. in case of prefabricated stiffeners the user
can directly use Iweb and Iflange from the profile specification, in case of stiffeners/girders
produced at the shipyard the user has to add the flange thickness to Iweb.

 Figure 84: Stiffener declarations and their use in Pegasus

The original thickness of the structural part will be taken from the TM-tables. If no
structural part dimension is assigned to a reading in a cross section table, those readings
will be not considered in the average diminution computation. For stiffeners having a
flange like L and T profiles, the dimensions have to be given as semicolon separated
values:

Multiple readings on one structural part

If the “No. or Letter” for readings of the same structural member is identical, Pegasus
assumes that those readings belonging to the same structural part and displays all
readings belonging to these structural parts in indented, italic rows. The dimensions for
these structural parts have to be entered only once.

5.7.2. Longitudinal Strength Assessment Results

In the overview tab of the Longitudinal Strength assessment the average diminution of
the selected frames are shown. The average diminution for deck and bottom area as well
as the sum of deck and bottom area is listed. The average diminution is divided into plate
and stiffeners. Average diminution greater than 10% is indicated by red colorization.

Figure 86: Results of longitudinal strength assessment. Critical areas are

highlighted in red.

Note: The average diminutions are computed based on the original material thickness
and the measured thickness value. In case a renewed material thickness is given
in Readings or Hotspot list, this value will be used instead of the measured
thickness.

6. Report Generation
TM reports can be generated by the Create report or Create final report icon of the
Results panel (see Figure 87).

Figure 87: Report Creation

If you want to create a Draft report, please use the “Create report” icon. For the final
report the “Create final report”. The final report gets a unique signature of the
PEGASUS file. For that reason, the PEGASUS file must be saved before. You can create as
many final reports as you want, but only the one that has the same unique signature as
the file can be uploaded to VERACITY cloud. After each new saving of the file a new final
report must be created. To submit the final documents to VERACITY cloud, select “Upload
final report to cloud”. See Section 6.2.

Selecting this menu opens a dialogue (see Figure 88) where the filename and path of the
report can be specified. “Save” creates a report in PDF format. By default, the report
contains all tables and corresponding figures existing in the project. The sequence of the
TM tables in the report is the same as under node TM Tables in the project tree.
 Figure 88: "Save as" dialog for reports

Since PEGASUS version 2.6 PDF is the recommended export format. The old Rich Text
Format and Zipped Report are deprecated. Please use the PDF report format unless
something goes wrong.

To change the scope of the final report or to exclude all figures the “save as” dialog
provides the Options… command to generate a user defined report. Figure 89 shows a
sample scope selection dialog. It allows specifying which measurement tables are to be
included in the report. Specific tables can be excluded by unchecking the according
entries in the table. The order of tables in the report can also be changed by dragging
them in the list to specific positions.

If figures shall not be included in the report uncheck the Include figures option, if
figures shall be added before the referring tables (instead of behind) check the Figure
before table option, if tables shall be sorted according to their TM-type, check the Sort
by table type option.

6.1. Report Configuration

Performing 3D model-based measurement recording, i.e. using Pegasus 3D
functionality, requires some configuration input to ensure a reasonable IACS conform
thickness measurement reporting (see below).

136 / 151
 Figure 92: Report configuration in case Pegasus 3D functionality

The following configuration input is needed:

Preselected Frames for Frame numbers where TM-2(i) and TM-2(ii) should be created. Frame numbers
TM-2 has to be separated by “;”. E.g. if Preselected Frames for TM-2 is set to
125;145 TM-2 will be created at frame 125 and frame 145 (if readings on

relevant structural members at these frames existing)

Minimum # of MP for Minimum number of readings contained in referring TM table

TM1…TM7

Min. Long. Ext. Tolerance Distance of minimum and maximum x-coordinate of a structural part defining if
it is classified as transversal or longitudinal structural part. E.g. a plate
extended from frame 100 to frame 100+500mm will be classified as
transversal structural part if Min. Long. Ext. is set to 600mm and will be
classified as longitudinal structural part if Min. Long. Ext. is set to 400mm.

Frame Selection Spacing around frame to assign readings to it. E.g. if Frame Selection
Tolerance Tolerance is set to 300mm and a reading to be reported in TM-3 is located at
frame 112 +200mm will appear in TM-3 table at frame 112.

Bulkhead Clustering Spacing around a transversal bulkhead to assign readings to it. Especially
Tolerance important for corrugated bulkheads where readings are not located on an exact
frame position in general.
6.2. Upload final report to cloud
Once you have entered all the data completely, the option to upload the report to the
DNV cloud will be activated (see Figure 90: Upload final report to cloud).

Figure 93: Upload final report to cloud

Some entries are required to upload the report to the cloud:

• Readings must be entered

• PEGASUS connect file must be added to the project (see Main Particulars). If you
don’t have it, please contact your surveyor.

• Signature page must be signed and added to the project (see Campaign Details)

• File must be saved

The Upload to cloud form looks like (see Figure 91: Create/Open final report). If you
have already prepared a valid final PDF report, you can open it with “Open final PDF
report” here. Else prepare a new one with “Create final PDF Report”.

Figure 94: Create/Open final report

138 / 151
After final PDF report is valid you can upload the necessary files to VERACITY cloud
service (see Figure 92: Ready to upload). Press the “Upload to DNV cloud” button.

Figure 95: Ready to upload

PEGASUS creates 4 necessary files and opens the file explorer (see Figure 93: File
explorer with files to upload).

140 / 151
If all is well received the web page looks as follows (see Figure 96: VERACITY UTM files
uploaded completely).

Figure 99: VERACITY UTM files uploaded completely

As final step, please inform your surveyor about the final uploaded report. (see Figure
97: Inform surveyor). With pressing the button “Send eMail to surveyor” PEGASUS tries
to prepare (depending on your security and the system settings) an email automatically.
If this did not work, please negate the following dialog, and send the email with the
generated text manually. After confirming all checks are green.

10. FAQ
Q: The page references in the generated report are broken.

A: Page numbers are not updated automatically. When using MS Word select the whole
document content by “CTRL+A” and update all field values “F9” in order to establish the
correct page numbering.

Q: Undo does not work.

A: Due to the complexity of this problem, solution is only implemented partially. Full
implementation is postponed for a later release.

Q: How do I set several input field with the same value?

A: Mark the cells in Question and then use “set data” from the context menu.

Q: Where in TM–3 do I enter the Bottomshell, SHELL (as part of a ring

measurement)

A; According to IACS, shell elements are recorded in TM-2(i/ii)

Q: “Chain Locker” (or other element) is missing. It is complicated to build these

from single plates.

A: Use TM-6 Miscellaneous.

Q: Why can’t all elements of one cross section / Longitudinal oriented

evaluation be recorded in only one TM table?

A: The different tables are a strict implementation of the IACS tables.

Q: Why can’t I find HP profiles in TM-Tables for profile measurement?

A: Only the Profile position, not its type is recorded with Pegasus table-based
functionality.
