Is it possible to import a Britfair offset file into Calc?
Here are the steps necessary to use a Britfair section offset file directly in Calc M3: • Using the Project Tool, create a new project, assigning it a new folder. • Still using the Project Tool, select this new project as the current one and import the Britfair file. • Start Calc and create a new project. On the geometry input page of the dialog, you should see the Britfair file that you have imported into the project. Select this and press OK. • The Britfair file will be read in and the project data set to default values in the usual way. However, there is one extra step needed that is very important: select the Tankplan node and edit it. On the Compartments page you should see the Britfair compartment, however the type will “Internal” and category “Unassigned”. These must be changed to “Buoyant” and “Mainhull” respectively. If this is not done, then hydrostatics will all be zero, as the program cannot find the buoyant envelope. • Internal compartments can be imported in a similar way
