(Fairly resurrected thread) Redant: Solidworks doesn’t unroll regular surfaces, it does however have options to develop sheet-metal parts so long...
Ah ha - a wave a rebukes...:o It is very possible (& true) that a small operator can have the knowledge and experience to handle some...
If you are serious about something like that you'd be worth talking to an experienced consultancy. I'd recommend: http://www.bmtyachts.com/ They...
Ah - not sure why that doesn't work for you. Try this: http://www.alnmaritec.co.uk/boats/boats_drawingboard_60.html I'm not 100% how you are...
I think you'd be looking for something similar to a medical landing craft: http://www.alnmaritec.co.uk/downloads/alnDB_69.pdf Though with less...
With my previous employer we worked on a pretty good range of projects: http://www.djaweb.co.uk/index.php/user-stories/marine/83-hms-victory...
The scanner units I've used were fixed, rather than hand held, which cost around £50-70K ($100-140K) - but then you'd only be want to use on for a...
In a small LC the cargo weight is likely to vastly increase displacement, to minimise changes in draft a high CB is useful. The easiest hullform...
Cat hulls make pretty poor small (<8m) landing craft. Though they've got the deck area, the height needed to clear the wetdeck means your...
I've seen it done but often without any thought for stiffness or strength. Your options would depend a lot on whether the cuddy is structural or...
I don't believe there is any forwards compatibility or conversion tools for previous versions between 2008 & 2011.
Hello Mick, It might help to know what you are after, are you looking for a rough concept GA or things taking to a designed state. Are you looking...
Ah - a much smaller boat, than I thought. I wasn't aware there was that much with two props, in steel for that age of that kind of size. Live and...
Do you have any photo's of this boat? I have a feeling I might have done some work on her a few year back - just the way you've descride things.
What size of vessel are you looking to work with? Solidworks can handle up to about 30m with fairly detailed structure - though you might have to...
Laser scanners produce very mixed results depending on surface finish and scanner type. The units I've worked with typically gave 1-5mm accuracy...
That's pretty common - in my experience most Naval Architects sail, own some kind of boat or come from marine background. Obviously if you just...
It's very unlikely that you'll need to look outside your own country for a course. A quick google brought up a reference for the Naval...
This is something that a lot of people ask, software is only ever a tool towards the end design. No software will do the design for you, you'll...
Draftsight is excellent especially as it costs nothing, it's easily a match for AutoCAD LT with day-to-day daughting. It makes you wonder how much...
