| Laminate design Is the following laminate sequences (for 14m coastguard boat) 100% correct or there is a better laminate schedule ? Bottom -Gray gelcoat. -CSM 300 (one layer). -BXA glass 600/100 (2 layers). -U.D glass 600/100 (one layer) -Foam 25mm (core-cell) -U.D glass 600/100 (2 layer). hull side: -CSM 300(one layer) -BXA glass 600/100 (2 layers) -U.D glass 600/100 (one layer Another question: I know that AutoCad is the most common design software used for marine industry, but is it the best or there are other software which are better than AutoCad? Example Pro-E or Solidworks. Is Pro-E suitable for marine design. |

| Your laminate depends all on the size, shape, and waters intended for the boat. Much engineering goes into the calculations. I venture to say that no designer will officially say "Yea that looks good" without knowing MUCH more detail. Probably more detail than could be conveyed in a forum. I just obtained a free lamination "annalyzer" from Vectorply. It might be a good starting point for your research. For software, there's lots of different types. I use a combination of AutoCAD, Rhino3D, and some pretty hefty spreadsheets and that's just for canoes and kayaks. Hope that points you in the right direction! |
