    Hello, I am creating offset table .csv input file to Michlet from my preliminary design for optimization. Single kayak monohull. Raws are water lines and columns are stations, per manual. How do I input the kill offsets into the table, since the kill station offsets do not fall on any of the water lines?
    Thanks.

    Michlet doesn't handle appendages. You can only analyze canoe bodies with it. You have to define you entire station and waterline system based on the bottom of the hull. There are several ways to define hulls in Michlet, including a spline system. Do you have the manual for it?

    Hello Phill, thanks for your reply. My input file is CSV offset table canoe slim hull, and I was able to load it in. My goal was to optimize total resistance in Godzilla, for that I need to load min 3 hulls. I am not able to have Michelet read more than one csv as per the instruction in manual.
    The csv load parameter is -1 and then follows the volume, depth, length followed by more parameters. This is all for hull#1.
    I follow the same script for hull#2 with the csv file useroff2, and so on. Is this correct procedure?
    I there a trick to do this? Thanks,
