How to add the additional forces heeling arm into criteria consideration in maxsurf stability?

Hi,

I have added additional forces heeling arm due to fire-fighting and thruster in the parent heeling arms list as per picture attached.  

However, the heeling arm is not been considered into the criteria as i want to check the "maximum ratio of GZ to heeling arm" and the "angle of equilibrium due to this heeling arm".  I tried with different heeling arm criteria from the criteria list but the results are not analyzed.  Is there other methods to get the results?

  • Hi Benedict,

    Two things to set you straight here:

     - Instead of working with the parent criteria, create a new group and copy the parent criteria and heel arms into it.

     - Heeling arms need to be in the same group (folder) as the criteria that refer to them.

     

    Take a look at the attached library (In Stability, use File | Critieria | Import Main Criteria)
