And you can get a lot of guidance on how to check your model on the following YouTube playlist......
Why cant you import the keel surfaces into Maxsurf?
I wouldn't describe them exactly as training videos but there are a lot of very useful videos on Maxsurf on YouTube at...
That's right. By default if the underlying surface is symmetrical then the stringer will be symmetrical. However there is a check box in the...
It wont be a problem as long as the gaps are "small". Maxsurf Stability joins together gaps in the hydrostatic sections that are smaller than 1-2...
Here are some tips for the model in Maxsurf - Make sure the model is closed (eg add a deck if there isn't one already) Where possible Use surface...
Parametric transformation of the bulb is pretty tricky (particularly if it is faired into the hull which presumably is the case) Maxsurf has...
Yes you can export an IGES file from NAPA and that file can be imported into Maxsurf. Napa creates a whole bunch of surfaces between each of the...
All of the offshore motions analysis systems like AQWA, MOSES and others use the same approach. You can do a quick uncoupled analysis in the...
The Automation Manual in Maxsurf is pretty good, its in the Help menu. You can also find Automation examples at C:\Program...
The windage area groups are there for more accurate and easier calculation of wind heeling moments in the Stability module. Once you have set them...
Regarding freeboard, if you add a key point in the Keypoints table then the freeboard will be calculated at that point.
There is an icon (and menu command) to turn report generation on and off, maybe you missed that? It is called "Spool to Report"
I doubt you are going to get a meaningful result using this approach. You need to take into account many other factors including the winch speed...
No, stringers do not contain openings, you will need to add them downstream in CAD. If trimming is turned o then frames will automatically trim to...
