Chapter 2 Quickstart

This chapter will briefly describe each analysis type and its output. For each analysis type, a list of the required settings as well as the available environment options is given.

 

Hydromax contains the following analysis types

§   Upright Hydrostatics

§   Large Angle Stability

§   Equilibrium Condition

§   Specified Condition

§   KN Values

§   Limiting KG Quickstart

§   Floodable Length

§   Longitudinal Strength

§   Tank Calibrations

 

Each analysis has different settings that may be applied

Ø  Heel

Ø  Trim

Ø  Draft

Ø  Displacement

Ø  Specified conditions

§   Permeability

§   Loadcase

§   Tank and compartment definition

 

Hydromax offers different environment options that may be applied to the analyses

§   Fluid Densities

§   Treatment of fluids in tanks: fluid simulation or corrected VCG

§   Wave form

§   Grounding

§   Hog and sag

§   Damage

 

Hydromax offers an extensive range of stability criteria that are applicable to equilibrium, large angle stability, limiting KG and Floodable length analysis.

 

Chapter 3 Using Hydromax will describe each of the analysis types, settings and environment options in more detail.
