Condition By default, a User Defined condition is created, that is, it is independent of the
Loading Conditions previously set up in Calc. However, each loading condition is
included in the drop-down list, allowing the User to easily perform manoeuvring
calculations on predefined loading conditions.

Note: If a defined loading condition is selected, then the User may not change the
Name, Draughts or fields calculated automatically.
Automatic Checking this button will automatically update certain fields by calculating the
Update properties from the hull definition. The following values are calculated: CB and CM.
This item is only available for a User Defined condition, and if it is checked, and the
User changes either the Draft Aft of Draft Fwd, then values are again automatically
 updated on the fly.

Note: The User may not alter the above values when this box is checked. The User
may however, check the box to obtain calculated values, then uncheck the box to alter
either of the calculated values.
Name Condition Name
Draft Aft The draught at the aft perpendicular.

Note: This value is only editable for a User Defined loading condition.
Draft Fwd The draught at the forward perpendicular.

Note: Again,this value is only editable for a User Defined loading condition.
Mean Draft The draught at midships. Not editable.
Trim Trim by the bow (Tf-Ta). Not editable.
Include Bulb The manoeuvring calculations use either a modified Holtrop & Mennen or Series60
formulation for calculating the vessel resistance. They make certain assumptions about
the size of a bulb, therefore the User is only requested to state whether or not a bulb
exists. Check this box if a bulb does exist.
CB Block coefficient =

.
CM Midship area coefficient.
GM Fluid Metacentric height.
LCG Longitudinal centre of gravity from midships.
VCG Vertical centre of gravity (from the keel).
Rudder to Distance of the rudder to the load waterline.

Since different data sets were used for the analysis of Merchant and Naval vessels, two different
speed ranges apply:

Merchant Vessel18 knots

Naval Vessel 25 knots

For speeds below these maximums, default Hydrodynamic Coefficients can be used.

If higher speeds are required, then this is allowed, but the User cannot use default Hydrodynamic
coefficients, as these will fall outside the range of the regression analysis. User defined values
should be used.

Obs.: mean pitch and blade area ratio are provided by powering
module.

Obs.: the steady turning diameter is too small; also the lost of the
speed in turning circle test is greater.
