Im to calculate Gz for area 15 to 30. But its already fixed in 0 to 30 range. Can i change this range?
Hi Ridoy,
The range of heel angles is set under Analysis | Heel. But I don't think that is what you want to do.
MAXSURF Stability has criteria checking built in, so we can use the software to measure things like Area under the GZ curve and tell us if we have enough. That way you will get your answer presented in a table.
Use Analysis | Criteria to set the criteria.
If you're new to MAXSURF then you might want to walk yourself through the training documents: MAXSURF Stability training documentation - MAXSURF | MOSES | SACS Files - MAXSURF | MOSES | SACS - Bentley Communities
If you really did want to calculate it yourself, you could use:
- Set the Results Window, Stability tab to be active
- Use Display | Data Format to turn on display of "Area under GZ curve from zero heel"
- Subtract the value at 15 degrees from the value at 30 degrees.
Let me know how you go
Regards,
James
