Thanks Ad Hoc, that helped a lot, much appreciated.
Hi Guys, I want to check a design at 10 knots into head seas that are 1m high with a period of 16 seconds. Maxsurf motions works in rad/s for...
Yes powerfull but workflow is still too slow. Same for Catia and Shipcon. As an example to create a midship section drawing so much detail has...
Yes every time I look for a better way to work I always end up back at AutoCAD. Something like a marine version of Revit would be nice.
Say a 35m crew boat in a couple of days. I have used Swx and Inventor but hidden line control and line weight control are poor and too much time...
I am curious if anyone has found a 3d program that can be used to quickly create a GA in 3D and then create clean 2d views created from model...
Anyone else concerned that the cutouts are more than 50% of the web area?
Once you get your head around 3D design with parametric software you will never look at Rhino the same way again, especially once you see drawings...
Hanseatic Marine model their super yachts with it. If you get the work flow right it is very capable software. My 2c, be prepared to work...
Yes that's the problem, a lot of rework since everything ultimately relates back to the hull surfaces. I was hoping FirstLight has found a way to...
I have tried to update a Swx model after a hull shape changed with iges from maxsurf without success. Most relationships fell apart after the...
If the last 10 years is any indication, we will be working exactly the same as we do now in 10 years time. When I think of how I worked 10 years...
That's unfortunate. Their website says "Automatic regeneration of affected parts after scantling and location changes or changes to the hull...
Can anyone using Autoship/Autostructure explain what happens to the structure when the hull shape is changed, for example made longer or wider....
If you are nesting metal then look into how the nest is optimised. Most work on minimising wasteage. But sometimes the $/kg can vary depending on...
What about surfaces that are not developable ? and will it let you export it? I dont use it but the way I read the Delftship web site you can...
you can do you hull shape and basic stability in freeship - free you can do advanced stability in a spreadsheet - open office - free you can do...
If you want to design a metal boat you should be aware that alias can not develop the panels, rhino can.
We used to use solidworks and there are 2 main problems you will face. 1. Longitudinal stiffeners and frame cutouts. To get longitudinal...
We have a few designs around that size. http://www.cncmarine.com.au/kit-boat-range.htm
