Problem with mesh in AQWA

deancarloz · April 29, 2015, 19:30

Hello guys,
as part of my final project at school I'm analyzing seakeeping of series 60 model adding to the hull various types of bulbous bow forms.
What I've done is create a bulb form at Rhino and than Import to Ansys as IGES.
So far so good, I can Then/Surface to 0 m as required for AQWA to simulate but I'm getting an error message as shown below when I try to generate the mesh. It seems like it only mesh the hull and not the bulb.

Any ideads?

Also when I tried in Design Modeler to sew both surfaces I got an error saying that sewing operation failed.

Your "Point Mass" not yet done(with sign "?").
Define ur "Point Mass" first before generating the mesh.
