The Input window contains tables where the additional Hydromax design data is entered. The tables in the Input window contain the:
The input window contains tabs on the bottom that allow you to quickly browse through the different input tables.
This table can be used to define the tanks and compartments in the Hydromax models. For more information see Modelling Compartments on page 40 in the Analysis Input section.
This table is used to define the tank sounding pipes and calibration intervals. Default values are provided but these may be edited if necessary.
There are several types of Key Points:
§ Down Flooding points
§ Potential Down flooding points
§ Embarkation points
§ Immersion Points
Only downflooding points are used in determining the downflooding angle, which is used in criteria evaluation.
The margin line is used in a number of the criteria. Hydromax automatically calculates the position of the margin line 76mm below the deck edge when the hull is first read in. If necessary, the points on the margin line may be edited manually in the Margin Line Points window (the deck edge is automatically updated so that it is kept 76mm above the margin line).
This table is used to define the allowable limits for shear force and bending moment during the longitudinal strength calculations.
