Two longitudinal cuts must be added, so select Longitudinal type of sections, go to Auto create box and set 2 sections, then press Create sections. In order to remove a section, just fill it with an empty text and press enter. Go to the end of the table and double click on an empty item in order to edit it.ĭepending hull geometry complexity, sections preview can take some time.Usually more sections are added at bow and stern, where more complex curvatures are registered, to do this: Sections table is filled and sections preview called OutlineDraw is shown.

Origin (0,0,0) point is the Midship section (Midpoint between after and forward perpendicular) and base line intersection.

Starboard geometry must be included at negatives y domain.

All hull geometry must be provided (including symmetric bodies).

Geometry must be a solid (or set of solids), the following criteria must be taken into account: The Ship Workbench works over Ship entities, that must be created on top of provided geometry. The tutorial is aimed to show how to work with a symmetric monohull ship, however multihull or non-symmetric ships can be performed with the same proceeding. If you feel your name is missing on this list, please feel free to add it yourself or send me a private message.In this tutorial we will work with Series 60 ship, from the Iowa University.

As of v0.19 it is also designated an external workbench, so it is no longer included in the base system. The Ship Workbench was unmaintained since v0.17 but has been resurrected in v0.19. The Ship Workbench is used to create structures that are common to ships.
