    Good day everyone,

    could please guide me to complete the runfile of Imo Weather Criteria For Pontoons.
    "The static angle of heel due to a uniformly distributed wind load of 0.54 kPa
    should not exceed an angle corresponding to half the freeboard for the relevant loading condition, where the lever of wind heeling moment is measured from the centroid of the windage area to half the draught."

    tan theta = (FB/2)/(B/2).

    how to add this condition in run file

    This can be checked in autocad itself. Steady angle of heel < 0.5 * Freeboard

    Interesting formula.
    What units should be used ?.
    How this approach corresponds to the IMO stability criteria?

    You should double check this wind load. I believe the number in the IMO Code is 0.504 kPa.

    Yes we need to input the wind load 540 Pa in the run file itself.

    IMO Criteria for Pontoons
    ( IS code 2008 Part B – Recommendation for Certain Types of Ships and Additional Guidelines - Chapter 2 – Recommended design criteria for certain types of ships - 2.2 Pontoons )

    2.2.4.2. The static angle of heel due to a uniformly distributed wind load of 540 Pa (wind speed 30 m/s) should not exceed an angle corresponding to half the freeboard for the relevant loading condition, where the lever of wind heeling moment is measured from the centroid of the windage area to half the draught.

    That's what we all knew, but I think is not the same as saying your formula.
    Cheers

    Can you express the above statement in mathematical expression so that i can correct it.

    Sure, with pleasure.
    IMO said the following: "should not Exceed an angle corresponding to half the freeboard". (IMO says corresponding to, does not say "equal or less" than)
    You say the following: "Steady angle of heel <0.5 * Freeboard"
    Both statements are not the same. Looking at your formula dimensionally, the resulting angle be obtained in the same units as the freeboard, in meters, for example. Do you think that I should explain more?

    do you agree this ?

    Steady angle of heel < Angle corresponding to (0.5 * freeboard)

    It's more like what I agree. The term "steady" is misleading me.
    Why change what it says IMO?
