    Dear Sirs,

    I would like to know if it is possible to define overflow point for fluids in Maxsurf modules.

    In specific cases like the large angle stability of split hopper dredgers or trailing suction hopper dredgers which have open holds, we need to consider the reduction in displacement due to spilling of excess spoil at higher angles of heel. It is needed to consider that the fluid is lost to the sea. It appears that Maxsurf considers constant displacement at all angles of heel so it doesn't actually spill the spoil fluid.

    Best Regards,
    Devu

    Okay. Thank you very much everyone.
    I got this reply on the Bentley Community:
    "Yes, version 21 of MAXSURF (currently in Technology Preview (or beta test)) has a "spilling tanks" capability. The final version will be released in September 2015. If you are a MAXSURF user with permissions set to allow download of early access versions then you can download and try out this feature otherwise you can access it when it is released."
