    I am an individual who is into manufacturing of small boats.
    but recently i have taken up designing.
    1. What do you mean by "decrease metacentric height" in cross curve calculation tab? I know the meaning of metacentric height and its importance. In particular what is the meaning of "decrease meatcentric height".
    2. Also in that tab i have attached its asking for the value of "immersion deck angle". i know the meaning but how to calculate it in freeship?
    Thanking you.

    It allows you to vary the metacentric height directly without having to adjust the model. Useful for when the displacements are different or for different loading situations.
