The Results window contains ten tables, one for each of the different analysis types plus criteria results and key points results tables. When switching mode, the currently selected results table will change to reflect the current analysis mode. Note that results are never invalidated if analysis options are modified – it is up to the user to ensure that the results are recalculated as necessary.
It is possible to configure Hydromax so that only the results that you wish to see are displayed. To do this, choose Data Format from the Display menu.
A dialog similar to the one above will appear. Items that are selected with a tick will be displayed in the Results window and on any printed output. Items that are not selected are still calculated during the analysis cycle, but are not displayed. You may change the display format at any time after the analysis without having to redo the calculations.
Most analysis data can be formatted vertically or horizontally to fit better on the screen or the printed page. For example, with Upright Hydrostatics, the data can be formatted so that each draft has a column of results, or so that each draft is on a separate row.
To change the format, select Data Format from the Display menu, and select either the horizontal or vertical layout button.
Key points data is calculated for Large Angle Stability, Equilibrium and Specified condition Analysis. The DF angle column is only visible when the analysis mode is set to Large Angle Stability and the Freeboard column is only displayed when the analysis mode is set to Equilibrium or Specified condition.
If stability criteria are turned on in the analysis menu, they will be evaluated during Large Angle Stability, Limiting KG and Equilibrium analyses. The results of the criteria evaluation are presented in this table after Large Angle Stability and Equilibrium analyses. Criteria results are not displayed in this table after a Limiting KG analysis. The results may be displayed in compact format:
Alternatively, the results can be displayed in verbose format, where all the intermediate calculations are shown, by selecting the desired format in the Display | Data format dialog.
