11.3.3. The BFEQ Data Record - Buoyancy Force at Equilibrium

This data record is used to specify the vertical buoyancy force when the structure is at its free-floating equilibrium position (i.e. with no articulations and no mooring lines attached), which is used in the calculation of the linear hydrostatic forces.

If a BFEQ data record is used, there must also be a LSTF data record (The LSTF Data Record - Linear Hydrostatic Stiffness Matrix).
