Hey Adarsh, As TANSL correctly stated, there must be something else wrong here. If the centre of gravity and centre of buoyancy are acting upon...
Hi Jeff, I know you have had a lot of sound advise from those who have previously commented, but I thought I would put my two cents in. This...
I agree entirely with Ad Hoc, tried and test method!
Titanic had sustained damage to 6 adjacent compartments after having endured raking damage along the immersed hull volume. That is a large amount...
Dear Rasel, The results you have shown here are surprising. As TANSL mentioned, the KGs that you have defined are clearly incorrect, with values...
Dear TANSL, The idea of starting from an estimated value in order to guide you in the right direction to finding the "true" value is common...
Hi Amingenieria1980! I have to agree with Ad Hoc on this matter, as for TANSL the phrase "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to...
Dear Sarath, perhaps to answer in a less patronizing fashion, the intention behind the intermediate flooding stage criteria is to account for the...
Hi Dr34m3r, if you want to import an iges file you go to the definition task and type the following: DEF?>FROM IGES TEMP>name.iges where TEMP is...
The manual from Maxsurf stability gives their definition as used within that software but it is not an absolute definition. Its common/good...
Hi Rabah, the description of the lost buoyancy method in the files you provided is general. If you read IACS Guideline for Scope of Damage...
When using the lost buoyancy method the displacement and centre of gravity can actually change. Picture a large tanker with a damaged tank that...
TANSL I would have to disagree with your statement: "The liquid entering the ship as a result of the damage, as it is in contact with the sea,...
Hi sn1987, I took a look at the file you uploaded and the problem lies with the model you have made. Having looked at the frames Maxsurf has...
I would advise you conduct the damage stability assessment using Maxsurf as it would save you a lot of time using this approach. It is however...
Hi elias, I believe if you want to consider all windage surfaces simultaneously you have to define these surfaces under the same group. This is...
You can find the videos here : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLACD43888BF329A3C
Yeah you can find them on youtube. There will also be variations in the analysis depending on the ship type under consideration. Further to the...
There are a few webinars available online which give you a brief overview of how to set up the damage stability analysis. Are you conducting a...
Thanks for your replies. I have managed to import the model in the STEP file format which produces a number of "sheets". Could anyone tell me how...
