Mirotone sanding sealer. Normally add pigment to help see how much you’re spraying on
It works fine if done correctly. There is little room for error and all surfaces must align perfectly with no duplicate lines or stray keypoints....
Are you familiar with the framing systems employed on these sorts of vessels? Can be longitudinal, transverse or combination system. Could just...
The foredeck itself does not contribute greatly to the longitudinal strength of the hull girder, but the stiffeners and longitudinal bulkheads...
Just a thought without knowing the particulars in the drawers. I still believe a single hatch over steps 2 and 3 would give more space below for...
Use plywood in place of foam where the glides will mount to. Only need to be the width of the glide and the rest can be foam. You’ll also need...
How would you finish the internals to prevent water permeating into the foam? As the OP mentioned he is fairly new to the process so I wouldn’t...
I think the male mould is the way to go but a lot of material would be wasted cutting the rings out of foam if I understand you correctly. I...
Thanks @bhnautika, I skipped a step. Wasn’t sure of hull shape so it isn’t as straight forward as these instructions. Orientation of the...
Rhino
Export as .3dm file from maxsurf Use contour command on bottom and sides to get hull lines Extrude these curves to girder/stiffener depth
Analysis was performed for each criteria and weighted on what we thought was most important to satisfy the design brief. I’m not trying to...
Definitely not randomly. @Mr Efficiency are you talking about the scores or weighting? Like I said it was a measure of the influence of changing...
The weights are applied subjectively based on our interpretation of the design brief.
So for resistance for example, hull 1 with the lowest resistance scores a 5 and hull 2 score would be based on the hull1 (kN) / hull2 (kN)...
We used the technique in a university project where we had an initial hull form and created 5 others by adjusting the main parameters. The hulls...
@fallguy like I said without knowing the internal framing that was an initial estimate and aimed at a minimum skin thickness of 2mm. The...
Correct. Your laminate schedule for the decks sounds ok, although on the hull, one layer of 17 oz. DB is definitely to light. Without knowing the...
