World building questions - crossposted

Hi All.  Sorry to cross post this.  Are there any astronomists or 
physicists out there?  I have created a world and for convenience it has a 
360 day year.  Now, there are three moons, one has a 15 day cycle, one has 
a 24 day cycle, one has an 18 day cycle.
I have plotted the phases for each for the year and set the solstices and 
equinoxes.  What i need is information on how three moons would affect a 
pretty much earth sized planet; i.i.e.. on climate, tides, 
eclipses,  etc.  i have created some cultural calendars already. I have 
used the program at www.irony.com/cgi-bin/printcal.pl to help with 
this.  It also provides other celestial events.  Now i used the same 
program with the same data, but created the different calendars, and got 
different events.  If anyone has any suggestions or information, please 
contact me at:
