How can I plot Bonjean curves ?
Plotting Bonjean curves requires Wolfson Unit’s GoPlot program and a .dat file obtained from HST. A .dat file can be obtained as follows. In HST open the Edit Element window for the Element you require Bonjean curves of. In the Edit Element window select the ‘Hydrostatics to Draughts’ option in the File menu, then click View > Offsets and Hydrostatics. This launches the Hydrostatics Information results page which by default presents a table of sectional properties at zero trim and zero draught. The required draughts and trims can be set by clicking Edit > Draughts and Trims in the Results page. A Bonjean File (.dat) can now be saved by clicking Results > Save in the Results window.
