solidmesh

trying to manipulate Michlet i looked up a wigley hull on the net and stumbled on solidmesh with a flow solver boundery conditions, meaning....CFD ?

Hi Yipster,
The tutorial you found is for generating an analysis mesh to use with a CFD solver such as Ansys CFX or Fluent 6. SolidMesh is an experimental program for generating unstructured analysis grids, it's still in development. Not much relevance to Michlet, which does not make use of such a meshing engine.

Yes, and in fact that's exactly the sort of complexity that Michlet (and boundary integral methods in general) try to avoid. Despite what many people say, Michlet is *not* a CFD program.

thanks for the reply's, was not sure what i was looking at with solidmesh

can you point me to a Michlet tutorial
i like to compare wave against friction drag on a long skinny cat hull
where wave stays below friction (and lowers with increasing displacement speed?)

edit: oops, found the Michlet html tutorials in the docs, easy yet complex enouch

yipster- you're familiar with Freeship? If not, it's easy to learn.... and it makes a perfect modeller and front-end processor for Michlet, in my experience it produces a virtually perfect Michlet input file every time. You still need to know how the in.mlt file is structured, but it makes the actual file generation almost too easy.

thanks, made and saved a quik freeship cat hull ( odd stations bow first and hope good enough ) tryed loading as in,mlt in the michlet dir but not yet working, printing the manual, can try the other files tho, or win edit what? want my cristmas marvel to work and yes there are forums but since were talking...
you cant look a given horse in the mouth they say but with a modern interface this winnder would be priceless ;P

jaja yippy jee, michlet running i was starting a older version he said embarrast
