Stability Criteria Reference from Different Model


Product(s):MAXSURF Stability
Version(s):23.06.00.137
Area:Stability Criteria

Problem

I had a model sent to me last week that I have found doesn't have the standard criteria listings. Is there a file I can bring into the model file from another model in Maxsurf Stability?

Solution

To be able to locally recreate the model, you can ask someone for the following file extensions:

* .hcr -  Criteria file, contains information relative to stability criteria, ships with application but can be added/modified by user.

* .msd - Contains geometry information including Surfaces, Curves, Trimeshes, Markers along with other design parameters (frame of reference etc.).

* .hmd - HydroMax Design file contains all information pertaining to stability calculations.

If you want to bring the criteria from a different model, let's say Model A to Model B:

  1. Open Model A which has the criteria you want to use.
  2. Go to the Criteria dialog and in the tree on the left, right click on the folder that contains the criteria you need
  3. In the pop-up menu select "Save Branch As" and specify the file name, or
  4. alternatively if you want all the criteria, from the File menu, select Criteria -- Save Main Criteria As...
  5. Close Model A and load Model B
  6. go to File -- Criteria -- Import Main Criteria, then select the (.hcr) file you just saved from Model A to load into Model B.
