Free!Ship 2.6+ vs Prediction resistance by Holtrop-Mennen started method

hi there

I want to finally learn free!ship, so are there any tutorials for newest free!ship.

thanks

 

Hello dear members. Can anyone tell me how to attach a keel to the hull? I produced a keel (just any to get a feeling how it could work) and sent it. Now it is sitting under the stern waiting for me ***** to move and attach it.
Thanks in advance.

Best way that I have found is to make sure it is a separate layer to start. Then you need extend the top up so it lands above the waterline (issues with hydrostatics). The go to Transform/move and deselect all the layers but the keel and then move it forward to position it properly. I have yet to find a way to "bond" it to the hull so that is part of the hull. The only way I have ever been able to do that is to move the centerline of the hull bottom into a keel shape then extrude the edge down, shape it and then either bend the lines back to the CL or extrude back to the CL. This makes the keel out of the hull itself but really messes with laying out panels if you are trying to get it out of ply.

Thanks Steve, I manage to move it, but no way to merge with the hull. No idea.

Hi, I was wondering if there is a plugin or something to interconnect the freeship+ with maxsurf or rhinoceros, or maybe a rhino plugin for fbm files

Sasha, you cannot merge two objects in freeship to make one. As lewisboat said the only way to have it as a part of the hull itself is to use the points on the bottom centerline and then create one. You could import the keel and then create points and lines by lewisboat's method, using the imported keel as a model. When you finish, simply delete the imported keel. If you extrude the bottom centreline, you should not have any distortions on the hull,b ut that is an "if". It depends on a number of factors.

But, when you export the lines into a dxf, you can and should cleanup and create the sections the way they should be for construction.

 

Hola Cesar. No hay plugins para freeship. Lo que puedes hacer es mirar a la lista de los tipos de archivos y comparar los de freeship con los que puedes importar en rhino. Mira aqui: Archivos - Exportar - (la lista): IGES, dxf, Wavefront obj., STL, FEF, Offsets, Coordinadas.
Quizas, rhino permite importar algun de esos archivos?

 

Hmmm, quite informative.

 

There aren't any plug ins...something about saving in a different format and importing it. then explanation about exporting and the various formats. Nope I don't speak Portuguese, only a (VERY) little Spanish, French and Italian but it is pretty easy to decipher.

 

bueno muchas gracias pero mi pregunta no va hacia importar lo que hago en freeship a rhino, sino todo lo contrario, lo que uno hace o tiene en rhino pasarlo a freeship, y bueno si he chequeado todos los archivos en los que rhino graba por defecto y todos los que lee freeship, es mas .. es lo q hice primero, por eso pregunto si han desarrollado un plugin con iges para freeship o si saben de alguno de rhino que lea los formatos de freeship
muchas gracias igualmente por el interes

hahaha .. I supose you don't understand a bit haha, is quite the "to craunch a marmoset" phrase haha
I'm just looking for something like the defltship option to import iges files

just to inform .. masrapido is speaking spanish, He is not speaking portugues, and I speak spanish too, and I do understand a little of portugues and italian

 

That aint english

 

You can't be more right, sorry for those who don't speak spanish, I only answered to masrapido in spanish because I think is the appropiate to answer him in the same language that He use to advise me
