For Upright Hydrostatics, heel is fixed at zero heel, trim is fixed at a user defined value and draft is varied in fixed steps. Displacement and centre of buoyancy and other hydrostatic data are calculated during the analysis.

Upright hydrostatics requirements

§   Range of drafts to be analysed

§   VCG (for calculation of some stability characteristics such as GMt and GMl only)

§   Trim

Upright hydrostatic options

§   Fluid Densities

§   Wave form

§   Hog and sag

§   Damage

§   Compartment definition (in case of damage)

The results are tabulated and graphs of the hydrostatic data, curves of form and sectional area at each draft are available.
