I've deleted my previous reply because it was stupid. Sorry. I figured out what the theory was, but it was not straightforward.
I can agree, that if you had no contact with hydro statics or stability before this could be more challenging for you to accomplish this task. Why...
We definitely shouldn't give you a strict answer how to do it. This should be your lesson. But I'm sure we can guide you. Excel gives you...
Let's be honest, we do have 21st century and as mentioned before, there is absolutely no problem to add those surfaces and simply do the...
This is not the best idea to do any calculations this way. This proposition of adding negative weight sounds like weak workaround. Why don't you...
You are assuming, that buoyancy is equally distributed, but this is not true, and it will influence calculations. You need to find buoyancy...
Gary, You are right. Most of the software is computing stability in a bit simplified way and the jack up is special case. Breuer and Sjolund has...
Well, this case will make you proud of yourself :) But it is worth spending time on such cases to make the software bullet proof. Honestly I know...
I'm not tlaking about adjusting any values on the go. Only about performing calculations for known case. You can take the geometry I attached...
I don't think you are wrong, just meybe we are not on the same page. You are talking about rising center of gravity in case where the boat is in...
The VCG has a lot to do with the trim boat adopts in it's equilibrium position. When the boat trims, also the Center of Gravity is being rotated...
Let me add something in the subject of platform model. With such a high center of gravity trim values reaches very big values. So the question is...
This is very nice you are getting the results correct. I tihnk that simplle stability calculations plugin for rhino in 21st century should be...
Theoretical tests can be also accurate. In the document I have attached there is an example of test case proposed by ABS, and the document...
Well, my plugin is doing a bit more calculations, I have also tested different hull shapes including multi hulls and SWAT, I'm not sure if you...
