Tutorial 1: Upright Hydrostatics Analysis

In this first example, we will look at computing basic upright hydrostatics of a
design imported from Maxsurf.
1.
First close any design you may have open, then choose File | Open design
from the file menu. Select Hydromax Sample.msd from the Sample Designs
folder.
When prompted, select Read Sections from File and set precision to medium. Click
OK to close the dialog box. If you change to the Design window (select from the
menu either Window | Profile, Window | Plan, Window | Perspective or Window |
Body Plan depending on which is the currently active view), you will be able to do
a visual check of the design to ensure that the design has been loaded correctly.
2.
The Upright Hydrostatics analysis option maybe chosen either from the
menu (Analysis | Set Analysis Type | Upright Hydrostatics) or from the Analysis
toolbar drop down menu:
3.
To determine the Upright Hydrostatics of the vessel the program requires a
(number of) draft value(s), a VCG in m above the baseline, as well as a trim angle.
These values are set from the Analysis menu item. Choose Analysis | Trim and the
Trim dialog box should appear:
Set the Fixed Trim value to 0m (it should actually be set at this by default).
Click OK to close the Dialog box.
Now lets set the draft readings. Select Analysis | Draft from the menu. In the Draft
Range dialog box enter and Initial draft at amidships value of 1m and a Final draft
at amidships value of 1.3m, also set the Number of drafts to 4 (ensuring that the
draft readings are incremented by 0.1m) and leave the VCG above baseline value at
the default value of 1.215m:
4.
The final set up required before running the Upright Hydrostatics Analysis
option is to tell the program which hydrostatic parameters you want displayed in the
results window. To do this first ensure the results window is the current window
(Window | Results) and select Display | Data Format from the menu. A dialog box
will then appear with all the output options for the Upright Hydrostatic results.

Check all the boxes and choose vertical Data Layout and LCB/LCF origin From
Amidships.
Click OK to close the Dialog box.

5.
To run the analysis either choose Analysis | Start Hydrostatics from the
menu bar or work from left to right on the analysis toolbar:
From the first drop down menu item choose the Upright Hydrostatics option.
From the second drop down menu it does not matter what Loadcase is chosen as the
Upright Hydrostatics Analysis option does not require this information. Form the
last drop down menu item choose the Intact option. Press the play button,
perform the calculations.
, to
Return to the results window to view the hydrostatic parameters of the vessel for the
4 specified draft readings:
The results may also be displayed in graphical format (choose Window | Graph
from the menu):

Tutorial 2: Large Angle Stability Analysis

In this example, we will look at computing the large angle stability of a design
imported from Maxsurf and compare the results with IMO stability criteria.
1.
folder.
2.
From the Analysis toolbar drop down box choose Large Angle Stability
3.
The next thing to do is set up a Loadcase. Go to the Loadcase window
(Window | Loadcase). For this sample design the Lightship values have already
been entered. You will notice that there are also 4 tanks that have been entered but
have ? entered in their Weight, Long.Arm etc. fields:
Note: The tanks have already been defined in the Window | Input | Compartment
Definition window, which will be covered in a later tutorial.
In order for values of each tank to appear in the weight field etc, either they can be
input manually or Hydromax can calculate the values (the tanks are assumed to be
full to the percentage indicated in the Quantity column). To obtain the values from
Hydromax choose Analysis | Form Compartments from the menu (or click on the
Form Compartment button,
automatically filled in.
), the fields in the Loadcase window should now be
4.
Next we want to define to the program the angles at which we want the
stability values. Go to the Analysis | Heel menu option to display the Heel Setup
dialog box. In the dialog box set the parameters to those shown in the following
diagram:
49
Hydromax Training
Click on OK to close the dialog box.

5.
The next step is to set up the criteria that we want measured. To enter the
criteria dialog box select Analysis | Criteria from the menu or click on the criteria
button form the Analysis toolbar,
. Expand the tree diagram in the left so that
the IMO A.749(18) Ch3 criteria are displayed and select the first 6 criteria by
checking the appropriate boxes.
The right hand side of the dialog box gives details and a description of the selected
criterion. In the bottom right hand corner there are two check boxes Intact and
Damaged. These check boxes indicate which analysis cases the highlighted
criterion should be calculated for. For each of our criterion we want only the Intact
box checked. Press the Recalculate and close button to close the dialog box.
6.
We are now ready to run the Lange Angle Stability analysis, to do this,
choose
from the Analysis Menu toolbar (if you have the Body Plan view set as
your current window you will be able to see the vessel heeled as Hydromax runs
through the calculations).
7.
The results of the Large Angle Stability Analysis maybe viewed in three
formats. In tabular form they are stored in the Results window (Window | Results):
50
The document
Hydromax Training
These results are also printed to the Report file (Window | Report) and appended to
any previous analyses. The results may also be viewed in the form of a GZ curve,
with basic values such as Max GZ, Initial GM and the angle at which
downflooding begins marked on the graph:
To see whether the vessel passes the IMO criteria for this loadcase go to the Criteria
results sheet (Window | Results | Stability Criteria). The required value, the
calculated value and whether or not the vessel has passed are displayed along side
each of the criteria.
8.
An interesting exercise to do is compare the GZ curve with that obtained
when the actual free surface moments of the tanks are calculated rather than using
the default corrected VCG method. To do this select Analysis | Fluids from the
menu to activate the Fluids Analysis dialog box. Choose the Simulate Fluid
Movement radio option:
Click OK to close the dialog box. Choose form Analysis | Form Compartments
from the menu to update the loadcase. We are now ready to run the analysis using
the Start Analysis button from the Analysis toolbar,
. View the results from the
51
Hydromax Training
graph window. Below is a comparison of the GZ curves obtained using the two
different methods.

It is interesting that the corrected VCG method adopted by most classification
societies well under predicts the actual stability of the vessel with free surfaces.
When using the corrected VCG method the tank capacities and free surface
moments are calculated for the upright hull (zero trim and zero heel). The effective
rise in VCG due to the tanks' free surface is calculated by summing the maximum
free surface moment of all the tanks filled less than 98% capacity and dividing by
the total vessel displacement. This method should be used when compiling a
stability booklet for a design, as it corresponds with the traditional approach used by
naval architects and classification societies worldwide. It is reasonably accurate at
low angles of heel and trim.
Use Simulate Fluid Movement when a faithful simulation of the movement of the
centre of gravity of the fluid in each tank is required. Every tank is rotated to the
heel and trim angle being analysed. Hydromax iterates to find the fluid level for the
rotated tank at the specified capacity. The new centre of gravity is calculated for
each tank and used in the analysis. The new LCG, VCG and TCG are calculated for
the whole design and used in the calculation of GZ, KG, and GM. This approach is
used when the stability of a vessel is being investigated and the closest possible
simulation of the hull's behaviour is required. It is particularly useful at high angles
of heel or trim, or with tanks whose heeled water plane area may be significantly
different from the upright case (i.e. tall narrow tanks, or wide shallow tanks). The
penalty of using this approach is that the calculation time is longer, however the
results are significantly more accurate.

Tutorial 3: Equilibrium Condition Analysis

In this example, we will look at the Equilibrium Analysis of a design imported from
Maxsurf.
1.
folder.
2.
Choose Equilibrium Analysis from the Analysis toolbar (or from the menu
choose Analysis | Set Analysis | Equilibrium Condition)
3.
Hydromax essentially balances the weight of the vessel with the
hydrostatic restoring force according to Archimedes principle. When the
Equilibrium Analysis Condition is run the vessel is iteratively heaved, heeled and
trimmed until the buoyancy force balances the weight force, the net trimming
moment is zero and the net heeling moment is zero. When this is achieved the
results are printed to the Results window, with the hydrostatic parameters being
displayed for that attitude. So the next step is to set up the Loadcase so that
Hydromax has a vessel displacement and centre of gravity to balance with the
hydrostatic restoring force. Select Window | Loadcase from the menu. Select
Analysis | Form Compartments from the menu or click on the Form Compartments
button in the Analysis toolbar,
. This will calculate the weight and centre of
gravity of the tanks in the Loadcase up to their percent capacity as defined in the
quantity column.
4.
We will now define a fifth tank that will be a catch tank, which is half full
of seawater. From the menu choose Window | Input | Compartment Definition. To
add a compartment choose Edit | Add Compartment or use the hotkey command
CTRL+A. Name the tank something meaningful like Catch Tank. Set the fluid
type to seawater by entering sw in the appropriate field. The Relative Density
value will be automatically updated with the default value for seawater of 1.0252.
The Aft, Fore, F Port, F Starb., F Top and F Bott. columns are all used
to define the tank boundaries, set the values to 7.5, -4, -2, 2, 2 and 0 respectively.
Leave the remaining 4 column values set at DITTO, this ensures that the aft cross
section of the tank is the same as the forward cross section shape. Now view the
tanks in the Perspective Window,
display tanks icon,
. If the tanks are not displayed click on the
, and display tank names icon,
. You will notice that the
53
Hydromax Training
Catch Tank has boundaries outside of the hull. To trim the tank to the hull surface
you will need to select Analysis | Form Compartments from the menu. The tank
should now be trimmed to the hull surface:
Return to the Loadcase window and set the Catch Tank Quantity column to 50%.
5.
Check that the Analysis toolbar is set to Equilibrium, Loadcase and Intact.
From the Analysis toolbar, click on the Run Analysis icon,
6.
Switch to the Results window to view the output (Window | Results). The
parameters that are displayed in this window may be altered in the Data Format
dialog box (Display | Data Format). The Graph window displays the curve of
sectional areas at the equilibrium heave, trim and heel of the vessel.
The results are also printed to the Report window (Window | Report).
7.
The Equilibrium Condition Analysis is a useful tool for running
simulations to determine the vessel response to various imposed conditions. For
example we will now look at what happens to the vessel Hydrostatically in a
seaway comprised of a regular wave with wavelength 1.5 times the vessel LWL and
a wave height of 2m.
8.
Activate the Waveform dialog box by choosing Analysis | Waveform from
the menu. Create a regular waveform by selecting the Sinusoidal radio button
option. Next set the wave height to 2m and the wavelength to 31.8m (1.5 times the
waterline length), leave the phase offset value at 0 (this means the crest of the wave
will coincide with the fwd end of the DWL).
9.
Change view to the Perspective window (
) and turn on the rendering
(
). Now run the Analysis (Analysis | Start Equilibrium Analysis) and watch as
the vessel is hydrostatically balanced on the wave at 20 equally spaced phase angles
from 0 to 1. The motion may also be viewed from a continuous animation, choose
54

Display | Animate from the menu. If the animation is running too fast it may be
slowed down by pressing the (negative) key on your keyboard.

Tutorial 4: Specified Condition Analysis

In this example, we will look at Specified Condition analysis of a design imported
from Maxsurf. The Specified Condition Analysis calculates the vessel hydrostatics
for a given displacement and centre of gravity, or fore and aft drafts, or heave and
trim. We will also run this analysis for a vessel operating in fresh water.
1.
folder.
2.
Choose Specified Condition Analysis from the Analysis toolbar (or from
the menu choose Analysis | Specified Condition). To run the analysis in Fresh
Water (i.e. water with a relative density value of 1.0), we need to enter the Densities
dialog (Analysis | Density).
When an Analysis is run Hydromax always performs the calculations using the
density in the Sea Water row (row number 1). Therefore to run the calculations in
fresh water of density 1000 kg/m3 we need to change the relative density in row
number 1 to 1.0. Click OK to close the dialog box.
3.
In the Specified Conditions Dialog box three sets of variables are provided:
Heel, Trim and Immersion. When defining a condition, one choice must be made
from each of these groups. There are 10 combinations of parameters to define a
condition (which are outlined below):
Fixed Heel, Fixed Trim and Displacement

Free to Heel, Free to Trim and Draft Amidships
In our case we will specify the displacement and centre of gravity of the vessel.
Once these two parameters are specified there is only one possible attitude the boat
will float at under equilibrium conditions. To set the Specified Conditions activate
the Specified Conditions dialog box (Analysis | Specified Conditions). When a
radio button is selected the edit boxes of the parameters that are required to fully
define the condition are activated, and those that are not required are deactivated.
For example if we wish to see the hydrostatic particulars and equilibrium attitude of
the boat with a displacement of 90t and a VCG, LCG and TCG of 1.2m, -2.0m and
0m respectively, choose the Free to Heel, Free to Trim and Displacement radio
buttons. Enter the values into the appropriate edit boxes as outlined below:
Click OK to close the dialog box and Select Analysis | Start Specified Condition
Analysis from the menu. Hydromax will now calculate the equilibrium attitude of
the boat and the hydrostatic parameters of the boat at that attitude.
4.
Go to the Profile view,

, of the boat to see the equilibrium attitude of
The results may be viewed in the Results and Report windows and the curve of
sectional areas may be viewed in the Graph window. Have a play with changing
the displacement and centre of gravity values in the Specified Conditions Dialog
and re-running the analysis to see how it affects the equilibrium attitude of the boat.
5.
We will now apply 20cm of hog to the boat at Amidships. From the menu
choose Analysis | Hog and Sag. Check the Apply Hog or Sag value option and
enter a value of -0.1m (the negative sign means it is a sag value):
57
Hydromax Training
Click OK to close the dialog box.

6.
Now returning to the Report Window (Window | Report) we can compare
the results with and without the 10cm of sag at amidships. Note: every time that an
Analysis is run the results are automatically printed to the output window.

Tutorial 5: KN Calculations Analysis

In this example, we will look at the KN Calculations analysis. The KN Calculations
Analysis calculates the KN values for a range of displacements and Heel Angles.
KN data is useful for assessing the stability of a vessel in the early stages on design
when the VCG of the vessel is not known. It is also a useful measure of stability for
vessels such as cargo ships where the VCG can vary significantly depending on the
loading for a particular voyage.
1.
folder.
2.
Choose KN Values Analysis from the Analysis toolbar.
3.
We now need to set up the conditions for which we require the KN values.
Firstly go to the Heel Setup dialog box. We want to go from 0o to 120o in steps of
10o, heeling in a starboard direction.

4.
Next open the Trim Setup Dialog box (Analysis | Trim). Make sure the
Fixed Trim option is chosen and set to a value of 0m.

5.
Finally we want to set the range of displacements for which we want to
calculate the KN values. Choose Analysis | Displacement to activate the
59
Hydromax Training
Displacement Range dialog box. Set the range of displacements from 70t to 130t
with the Number of displacements set to 13.
Click OK to close the dialog box

6.
To begin the analysis choose Analysis | Start KN Analysis from the menu
or click on the Start Analysis icon, , on the Analysis toolbar. The results will be
printed to the results window (Window | Results | KN Values) and the Cross Curves
of Stability graph (Window | Graphs | Cross Curves). KN is plotted as a function of
the displacement for a range of heel angles (as specified in the Heel Setup dialog
box).

Tutorial 6: Limiting KG Analysis

The limiting KG analysis method calculates the maximum KG the vessel can have
and still pass the selected criteria. Calculations may be made with either the vessel
free to trim as it heels or fixed in trim as it heels.
1.
folder.
2.
Choose Limiting KG Analysis from the Analysis toolbar.
3.
Next we need to set up the criteria for which we wish to find the maximum
allowable KG for which the vessel still passes. From the menu choose Analysis |
Criteria or select the criteria button from the analysis toolbar,
. In the left hand
side of the Criteria window expand the tree along the Criteria/ IMO/ MSC 36 (63)
HSC Code/ Ch2 Monohulls/ HSC mono. intact branches. Select all 7 of the listed
criteria by checking the appropriate boxes:
Click on the Recalculate and Close button at the bottom right hand side of the
Criteria window. Before calculation a range of displacements needs to be input.
From the menu choose Analysis | Displacement to activate the Displacements
dialog box. We will set 11 displacements (from 10 000kg through to 20 000kg).
61
Hydromax Training
Click OK to close the dialog box.

4.
Now we are ready to run the analysis. To do this choose Analysis | Start
Limiting KG Analysis from the menu, or choose the Start Analysis icon,
Analysis toolbar.
5.
, on the
To view the results go to the results window, Window | Results from the
menu or click on the Results icon,
The results show the displacement and corresponding minimum VCG the vessel can
have to comply with the chosen criteria. The criteria which the vessel will first fail
on is also displayed in the Type column. The results may also be displayed in
graphical format, Window | Graph.

Tutorial 7: Longitudinal Strength Analysis

The longitudinal strength analysis lets you determine the bending moments and
shear forces created along the length of the hull due to the forces applied from the
loads entered in the Loadcase window and the buoyancy forces. The analysis can
be carried out in flat water or in a waveform.
1.
folder.
2.
Choose Longitudinal Strength Analysis from the Analysis toolbar.
3.
we now need to set up the loadcase for analysis in the Loadcase window.
Choose Window | Loadcase from the menu. You may notice that the loadcase table
for this analysis is slightly different than for other types of anlysis. There are two
extra columns for defining the fwd. and aft. limits of the longitudinal distribution of
weight for each item. Fill out the loadcase window as shown below (remember to
press the form compartment icon,
, to have the tank contents calculated):
4.
When a weight is defined in the Loadcase window for Longitudinal
Strength Analysis the fwd and aft limits of each weight need to be defined. If it is
not explicitly defined Hydromax will do one of two things. If the item not defined
is a tank then Hydromax will automatically determine the weight distribution of the
contents of the tank up to the %full as defined in the Quantity column when the
analysis is run. If the item is anything else then Hydromax will assume the weight
is distributed 100mm either side of the Long. Arm entered for that item. When
entering a fwd and aft limit for the weight distribution it should be noted that
Hydromax automatically assumes a trapezium for the load distribution. That is, if
the longitudinal arm is entered mid way between the fwd. and the aft limits then the
load will be assumed to be uniformly distributed. However if the load arm entered
is 1/3 the way from the fwd limit to the aft limit then the load will be distributed as
63
Hydromax Training
a triangle from maximum at the fwd. limit to 0 at the aft limit. This means that the
longitudinal arm should always lie within the middle third of the limits if negative
loads are to be avoided.
5.
Switch to the Profile view (click on the profile icon,
, from the
toolbar). We are now ready to run the analysis. Select Analysis | Start Longitudinal
Strength Analysis from the menu.
6.
Open the results graph window (Window | Results from the menu). The
graph should look similar to the figure below:
The weight distribution along the vessel is represented by the black line and the
buoyancy distribution is represented by the red line. The calculated results include
the net load (weight buoyancy), the shear force and bending moment represented
by the green, light green and yellow lines respectively.
7.
These results are also represented in numerical form at discrete intervals along
the vessel (at the stations). These may be viewed in the results window
(Window | Results), on the Long. strength sheet.

Tutorial 8: Tank Calibrations

In this tutorial we will calibrate the tanks for capacity, centre of gravity and free
surface moment. The fluid densities and tank permeabilitys may be varied
arbitrarily. Each tank that has been calibrated has a table of tank capacities
available through the Results window, and a separate graph of its volumetric
properties available through the Graph window.
1.
folder.
2.
Choose Tank Calibrations from the Analysis toolbar.
3.
Switch to the loadcase window (Window | Loadcase). Select Analysis |
Form Compartments from the menu.
4.
Next we want to set up a custom sounding pipe in tank 1. Hydromax
allows sounding pipes to be defined for each tank. One sounding pipe per tank is
permitted and up to 9 vertices per sounding pipe, allowing inclined, bent or curved
sounding pipes to be modelled. Switch to the sounding pipe definition window,
Window | Input | Sounding Pipe. Fill the table out as shown below. To add extra
rows use the Ctrl + A keyboard command.
5.
To view the sounding pipe you have just created go to the Perspective
window,
. The sounding pipe you have just created is shown below (under the
arrow pointer).
65
Hydromax Training
Hydromax creates a default sounding pipe when Analysis | Start Tank Calibrations
is selected. The default sounding pipe is placed at the longitudinal and transverse
position of the lowest point of the tank. If the lowest point of the tank is shared
between several locations (e.g. the bottom of the tank is flat either longitudinally or
transversely) the default sounding pipe location is placed at the aft-most low point
and as close to the centreline as possible. The top of the sounding pipe is taken to be
level with the highest point of the tank and the default sounding pipe is assumed to
be straight and vertical
6.
We are now ready to run the tank calibrations. From the menu choose
Analysis | Start Tank Calibrations or click on the start analysis button from the
analysis toolbar,
7.
Results are displayed both in graphical and numerical format. There is one
graph produced for each individual tank. To view results for, say, tank 3 select
Window | Graphs | Tank 3 from the menu. The numerical results from all of the
tanks are displayed in one table, to view select Window | Results from the menu.
