    Hi pavel915!

    You can to import IGES in MultiSurf (v4.7.1) and export into VRML and then import this VRML geometry in Free!ship+

    May be you find and other variants...

    VRML normally is an end station when it comes to file formats. It is used for displaying purposes. The file contains too many points to be useful for modelling.

    I did'nt know that, Rhino has VRML export. I have discoverd it right now;;;it is convenient for me to convert form iges to vrml by rhino.
    thanx for refering about VRML.

    when a design is exported from vrml to freeship some functionalities are disabled, like resistance calculation, Ghs ,dxf export, etc. is there any other good way to export to freeship form iges ,dxf or other format?
    thanx!

    Hi !

    This is not true... You must set in Projects settings - Lpp, B, T. Then calcs hydrostatics and determine Cm, Cp and lcb (this is coefficients calcs not right in v2.6 and higher). In calculation of resistance in beginning to extract data from model, then click and disable extract and set midship draft, lcb and Cp. After this all data would be calc... DXF - export normally 3D mesh only. GHS - not

    Regards

    Hi!

    Addition information about wrote higher text:
    1. Problem to solve easily... After import geometry in WRML you can set Projects settings (any Lpp, B and T > 100 10 5 for sample, then you can change on right value)
    2. Then select point in afterstern, which would be started point (X=0,Y=0,Z=T) and appear the window with 3 coordinats
    3. Select all to click CTRL+A or in main menu - all point became yellow
    4. In window with coordinats write in line X-coord: @ in exchange "-". For sample, "-223" => "@233". And click the button Enter. After this all coordinats X of selected point moved. Then click unselect All.
    5. For coordinats Z do analogical but point get in down (on bottom).

    After this hydrostatics and calculation resistance run without any problems.
    PS. Afterstern in WRML wold be left...

    Best regards
