calculate LCB using Simpson's rule

hi I was jst wondering if anyone here knew how to calculate the LCB of a vessel using simpson's rule. I have the longitudal lever information but I don't know what I do with it. Do I just use the levers as the points in simpson's rule or do I have to do anything else with them before i can calculate the LCB.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Zap me an Email and I will send you a Lotus/Excell spreadsheet program I wrote during the 80's which I used (and still uses) for calculating the following;
Displacement, LCB, VCB, Cp, CWP, Immersion, Moment to trim, CF.

All this is based on Simpsons multipliers (shown on sheets with formulas) and you just have to add the relevant data required.......

Wynand,
How has it been going since we last spoke? Can you send me a copy of the spreadsheet also? I am interested in seeing how you arranged it.
Thanks,
Bob
