4.8 Move CoG
If you want to move certain weight groups quickly to see the result on the
center of gravity of the total lightship, select Move CoG… in the Weight group
menu.
First select in which direction to move the weights by selecting one of the tab
buttons at the top of the dialog (VCG, LCG or TCG). Then click the browse
button […] at the right of the Top post field to select the weight group to be
moved. Next set the interval for the groups to move.
To set the start and end limit for weight items to be included in the move, tick
off the option Restrict limit, and fill in the edit boxes.
The Move Options provides three ways of moving the weight-items:
Check CoG & move absolute – this will move the VCG, VCG_min and
VCG_max of all weight items with VCG within the move limits.
Check distr. & move absolute – this will move the VCG, VCG_min and
VCG_max of all weight items with either VCG, aft or fore within the move
limits.
Check distr. & scale – this will move the VCG, VCG_min and VCG_max of
all weight items with either VCG, VCG_min and VCG_max within the move
limits. Items partly within specified limits will be scaled depending on
VCG_min and VCG_max values.
