User's Guide for SPECTRA: Version 8.3
Abstract
SPECTRA is a Windows-based computer program for predicting extreme and lifetime exceedance primary hull girder bending loads. Extreme loads can be used for reliability-based strength design criteria, and exceedance loads can be used for fatigue strength design criteria. Loads are calculated based upon ship geometry, the sea conditions, and operating characteristics of the ship as specified by the user. This User's Guide contains the basic instructions for running SPECTRA program, with suggestions for suitable input data.
