| Area: | Stability criteria |
Problem
The wind heeling criterion is not calculating.
Solution
The margin line is used in a number of the criteria. Stability automatically calculates the position of the margin line (normally 76mm) below the deck edge when the hull is first read in.
For most vessels, the Margin Line is located 76mm vertically below the bulkhead deck at side. Maxsurf Stability attempts to automatically locate the position bulkhead deck at side by looking at each section and identifying the transition from the deck to the sideshell. The Margin Line is then placed 76mm below this point and snapped horizontally to the sideshell.
The Data | Margin Line depth dialog allows you to specify the vertical distance between the Deck Edge and Margin line (for some special vessels, this is different from the standard 76mm).
- The Reset button will revert the value back to the standard 76mm.
- When you click OK in this dialog, you have the choice of adjusting the Margin Line or the Deck Edge to give the specified vertical separation.
- Finally you may also make the specified value the default for all new models opened in Stability when calculating the hydrostatic sections.
