Dear Naval architects i am in need of your help

My objective is to model a Barge or ship and to get the stabillity parameter (GZ Curve) of it.

First of all im a beginner in Ship design, so please bear with me if any of words are not appropriate

I have tried two softwares Maxsurf and Rhino

In Rhino
I have installed the orca 3d plugin but stucked how to start despite watching the tutorial on youtube several times.

i downloaded the rapid hull modelling plugin but all my attempts ended in vain

In Maxsurf

Maxsurf has barge models available in the model library.
To Get a stability parameter all i have to do is to choose one model and click the type of stability analysis i want.
i get results in few minutes but i have no idea about it because i have no idea about modeLLING.

I HAVE FEW QUESTIONS

What are all the inputs needed to model a Barge or ship?
Principle particulars ,lines plan and anything else??

How to review the results of stability?
I hope someone has some checklist to make sure the stability values are correct.

i am sure some one has tried this before.
So please share the barge or ship model u did in the past with the inputs u have.

I will try it in Rhino or maxsurf and share the results with you.

It would be better for me if someone gives me a barge or ship hull modling tutorial

Expecting reply
Thanks in advance
 
I just wonder, have you naval architecture / ship design theory knowledge ? or you just want to use the software ?
