    For my senior design project, I am designing a 57m Aluminum High Speed Catamaran, and because of the nature of this ship, I am using Michlet 9.33 to find the Rt. After running the ship through Michlet I ran it through the Godzilla plugin using the infinite iterations, and it converged on a new hull form. When I went to check the results in the godzout.mlt output file the only thing in the file was # BLANK. I don't know where else the output would be listed or why it isn't showing up in that file. I am trying to find the new table of offsets for the optimized hull. I have attached my in.mlt file with my Godzilla function at the end. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    You have to exit the program correctly in order to trigger the file writing routines. I think it's "y" a couple times to get back to the main program then do a normal exit. That will populate the files. Do you have the documentation files?

    That was the issue! I don't know why it didn't work at first, but when I exited that way the file populated correctly. Thank you!
