Autohydro - maxVCG and draft dependent limits

I have a problem to apply the following stability criteria (old deterministic damage criteria for passenger ships) SOLAS Ch. II-1 Reg 8 2.3.3:
"A residual righting lever is to be obtained within the range of positive stability, as calculated by the formula:

GZ = (pax. heeling moment)/(displacement) + 0.04" the variable here is the displacement (intact disp).

Question: How to apply a draft dependent limitation in autohydro when creating a maxvcg limit curve for a damage condition? e.g.

maxVCG draft 1.8,1.9,...,2.6 /trim:0

I don't want to run a maxVCG command for each draft (separate output for each draft). Tried to use /composite and variables without success.

Any ideas?

Edit this one in your model data

clear report
report header MAXVCG.RUN
report footer Autohydro 5.1.0 &C&D,&T &R&P of &N

status

limit off
limit area:degrees
limit area from 0 to 30 > 10.34
angles 0,5,...,40

maxvcg draft 0.5,0.75,1,...,4/LCG:5.63A/ShowRa

What is the LIMIT command you used to define the above criteria? Or is that what you're asking for?
