    Hi:

    Can Michelet calculate the wave making resistance of a hull in free to trim and sinkage condition?
    OR
    After calculating the wave maikng resistance in fixed condition using Michelet, can we calculate the trim and sinkage ?

    Waiting for a kind response

    Thanks in Advance.

    Yes, Michlet can calculate the resistance (and wave patterns) of a hull that
    has been placed in a sunk and trimmed attitude.

    and

    No, Michlet cannot calculate sinkage and trim, or any near-field effects such
    as the hull wave profile.
