4.1 Weight distribution<br />

The Weight Distribution dialog is opened by selecting Weight Distribution �<br />

Curve… on the View menu. Alternatively, press the Weight Distribution Curve<br />

button on the toolbar:<br />

When you are estimating or registering weight items, the extension of the item<br />

can be given:<br />

LCG_min (Aft)<br />

LCG_max (Fore)<br />

VCG_min (Lower)<br />

VCG_max (Upper)<br />

TCG_min (PS)<br />

TCG_max (SB)<br />

Together with the Center of Gravity of the weight item, this will make a<br />

trapezoid approximation to the weight distribution for that single item.<br />

When summarizing all the approximated distributions, a weight distribution<br />

curve for the total ship is obtained.<br />
