Hi,
This is Eshwar, I have been using maxsurf since 4 years, all the four years I was doing analysis for ships, but now I am trying to do for a stability analysis of a pontoon, In doing so the Equilibrium condition for damage stability analysis by damaging one of the compartments in the pontoon, I am getting a heeling angle of greater than 90 degrees.
I also did a rough hand calculation using Lost Buoyancy method in which I am getting a reasonable heeling angle (7 degrees).
I like to know If there are any limitations in the Maxsurf, such as L/B ratio or L/D ratios.
Thanks and Regards
