IGES to delftshipt to Michlet...

Hi,

When I import an IGES into Delftship, using VRML format, it imports my shape in meters instead of millimeters. I then scale it down in all dimensions by a 1/1000 factor and I get the right draft (which makes me think that it should be OK).

I then export as Michlet, entering all the parameters for skin frictin, wave resistance, hull separation distance as this is a catamaran and then:

- either does Michelt bugs
- either it opens but there is no shape in the differents view windows

In all cases, the export has not worked.

Can anyone tell me where I am wrong?

Could I send the file to someone that knows how to convert thses with the different parameters to get a hand?

Thanks in advance, Lukas

 

You can attach the iges file to a post if it is not a secret. Otherwise email me direct with it. rickwill@bigpond.net.au

You need to advise the hull spacing if you have a single hull. Also what is your maximum speed of interest.
