Finding the angle theta3, where A2 = A1 as in the RINA Cargo Loss criterion.
    `Finding the angle Theta3, where A2 = A1 as in the RINA Cargo Loss criterion.
    `In this run file, the TCG of the vessel is set to create conditions during
    `lifting and after the cargo loss.  Since the effect of TCG varies with the
    `cosine of the heel angle it is equivalent to setting a cosine based heeling
    `moment.
    `When using this method, the run file should either set up actual loading
    `conditions with and without the crane load, or use a heeling moment to represent
    `the counterballast weights.  Keep in mind that the equilibrium angle during
    `lifting is saved as variable t1 and is necessary to evaluate the criteria.
