1 Adding parameters to Main Dimensions 
The entity Main Dimensions is the first one that you will add contents to. These contents consist of Quaestor parameters.
During the intended calculation, the user will be asked to provide input values in entity Main Dimensions for the following parameters:
Parameter name | Dimension | Reference (i.e. comment) |
| [m] | Length over all |
| [m] | Length between perpendiculars |
| [m] | Width over all |
| [m] | Moulded depth of ship |
- Right-click in the right field of the Knowledge Browser and select New Parameter/Function.., or press Ctrl+I.

- In the same way, add the VR parameters

3 Including parameters in an entity 
Now that you have created parameters in the Knowledge Browser , the next step is to include these parameters in the entity Main Dimensions. 
Two ways are available to include parameters in an entity:
...
- Using the first method, drag parameter
Lppto the entityMain Dimensions(underLayout>Hull):
- Do the same for
Loa,BoaandDm.
The second method to include parameters in an entity, is by means of the select option Include Parameters from knowledge base while in the Entity Editorentity editor. After closing the Entity Editorthe entity editor, Quaestor will present a list of parameters that are defined in the knowledge base. All selected parameters will be included in the newly created entity. This is especially convenient when a lot of parameters are already available in the knowledge base the moment you create a particular Entityentity.
