Claim One:
1. A method for calculating a liquid surface plane location in a containment vessel, comprising: (a) storing a first set of data comprising a solid model representation of said containment vessel; (b) storing a second set of data representing a spatial orientation of said containment vessel; (c) storing a third set of data representing a magnitude and direction of acceleration of said containment vessel; (d) storing liquid volume data representing a volume of liquid in said containment vessel; (e) deriving a first set of image data representing a surface plane of said liquid in said containment vessel, said first set of image data being a function of at least said first through third sets of data and said liquid volume data; and (f) displaying said first set of image data in intersecting relationship with a second set of image data representing said containment vessel having said spatial orientation.
