Maxsurf Stability Analysis

Hi,

I want to know If maxsurf is able to perform equilbrium analysis for a unsymmetrical bodies.

  • Its difficult to tell what the problem with your model is from that picture. I recommend you watch the following 2 videos. The first shows modeling techniques and checks on your model to be done in Modeler.

    The second shows how to check your model once it is loaded into Stability.

    In summary the checks you should perform are -
    In Modeler:
    Set frame of reference & zero point
    Check trimming, make sure all sections are a single closed contour
    Bond surfaces where applicable to prevent gaps
    Set Surface Use to "Hull" for wetted surface and to "Internal" for interior surfaces which wont be used for hydrostatics
    Check Surface thickness in Surfaces table
    Check Outside arrows point outwards for each surface
    In Stability:
    Walk through hull sections in body plan (Use Single Section display and click on the control box to move form section to section)
    Check Curve of Areas in graph window


    This is a test
