Connected Compartments

Description

Compartments specified as connected to damaged compartments, are now just added to the list of damaged compartments for the analysis and treated as being damaged to the outside waterline. Previously, such compartments were combined to form one multi-compartment, but this meant that only one damage permeability could be applied, which was that of the first damaged compartment. With this new method, each connected compartment will have its own damage and probabilistic stability permeability. The latter can vary with loading draft.

Also compartments are now connected in one direction only. Flood water will flow from the first to second compartment, but not the other way. Note that this means that to specify flow in both directions, two connected compartment records are now needed.
