Hydrostatic Properties at certain heel angle in Autohydro

[petlily]

Hi,

Is there anyone knows how to produce a table of hydrostatic Properties at a designated heel angle in Autohydro?

Been looking high and low in the manual but there isn't any macro that enable this to be done :mad:

Appreciate very much for any help towards solving this problem.

Hi petlily,
just don't define drafts and don't use /km parameter for ghs command. for example following commands will force to zero heel:
ghs dr 1.1,1.15,...,2.8
ghs /km
So only use ghs command without any paramater. the result is a one-row hydrostatic table for defined draft, trim and heel angle.
for multiple drafts write a macro and use a loop to calculate hydrostatic properties for different drafts. Then edit the results in word software to join the one-row tables to a perfect hydrostatic table.

hope this help:)

Hi babri,
Thank you for your suggestion. Tried using the ghs but no matter how I tried, the heel is always forced to zero.
The only solution I figured out, is to use hs instead of ghs, such as this;

heel 5
hs 1, 1.2, 1.4, ...3

I still get the hydrostatic table at heel 5 deg albeit certain parameters have been omitted like KMt, KMl, etc. Note that the inclusion of new parameters such as BMt, BML, which is independent of centre of gravity.
