After a Large Angle Stability or Equilibrium analysis, criteria are evaluated and the results displayed in the Stability Criteria table in the Results window. Criteria can also be re-evaluated without having to redo the analysis when “Close and Recalculate” is selected in the criteria dialog. This allows you to edit criteria parameters or selected criteria and re-evaluate using the existing analysis results. After calculation the relevant criteria are also added to the Report.

The tested criteria are listed one above the other. Intermediate values are displayed. Values that could not be calculated, e.g.: angle of vanishing stability, angle of equilibrium, etc., have n/a in the Actual and/or Value column. This is normally due to an insufficient range of heel angle having been used.

Results may be displayed in “Verbose” or “Compact” format (see above). The format for the results table and the report are specified separately. Chose the Display | Data Format command when the Stability Criteria results are displayed:

Stability criteria results window: compact format

Stability criteria results window: verbose format

As noted earlier, only the relevant criteria results are added to the Report and/or Batch file. Criteria that are not relevant, i.e. any criteria that have a “not analysed” result, are not added to the Report (although they are displayed in the Criteria Results table). For example damage criteria during intact analysis or Equilibrium criteria during a Large Angle Stability analysis are not added to the report.
