Chapter 4 Stability Criteria

This chapter describes how stability criteria are used in Hydromax. Stability criteria are evaluated for Large Angle Stability, Equilibrium and Limiting KG calculations. A fixed sub-set of criteria is used for the Floodable length analysis and these criteria are accessed in their own, simplified dialog.

 

The following sections will be discussed:

§   Criteria Concepts, an overview of what capabilities Hydromax offers with regards to stability criteria.

§   Criteria Procedures, explanation how to work with the Hydromax criteria dialog to create your own custom set of criteria.

§   Criteria Results, criteria evaluation results

§   Nomenclature, explanation of terms and definitions
