new project new plans

Hi to all the community!
I´m a naval architecture student
I wanna start a new project, about a container ship
Do you think it´s ok to take a maxsurf model
and modified its characteristic'???

It´s really difficult to find ship drawings in my country
Thanks for the help

 

It is a good idea to do something like that but you must have a model of ship in similar dimension. If you use a much smaller or much larger model you can get a strange shape of hull and you will have a manual correct the shape of hull

 

Maybe it's a good idea to conduct a google search for what youre trying to design. Search for ships with similar loading requirments and stuff like that.

 

Google, Google!

 

thanks for your help
micspoko what program do you use to make your designs'???
and also
any of you know some techniques to modified ship´s characteristic like block coefficient????

 

For my designs I use a several different programs ( its depends what I need)
freeship/delftship, rhinoceros, maxsurf, solidworks

In maxsurf you have a "hull transformation" when you may have change a couple dimention of shape of hull

The ship from first photo was built in shipyard in my town
