Parametric hull form design
 

Hi Pals,
I'm a user of Fine MARINE from Numeca, main task is calculate the wave resistance on ships. I wonder if any of you know Fine MARINE has a plugin to do parametric modelling approach to the design of ship hull forms which
allows to create and vary ship hulls quickly and efficiently. I know that StarCMM+ has this extra add-on but unfortunately I dont have the license for StarCMM+. Could you share any input with me.


Thanks in advanced

Hi Jorge,

unfortunately I am not too familiar with FINE/Marine so I cannot help you. But what you can do is posting your question in the official NUMECA forum, I am sure you will get help from our experienced CFD application engineers within a day.
If you have access to our customer area (portal.numeca.be) the link to the forum is in the top bar. If you haven't an user account yet you can ask your license coordinator of your institution. He is called the "master user" and can create user accounts with little effort.

Kind regards
Holger

Hi Jorge,

Yes. We do have a plugin to connect with Rhino3D and Grasshopper.
This is actually brand new but we are going to announce that publically very soon: NUMECA now has an integrated suite for design and optimization for Marine applications (ship, propellers, etc.) integrating
1) parametric CAD (through our plugin with Rhino3D for ships and directly into our software for propellers),
2) automatic remeshing with the C-Wizard
3) most advanced DOE, Optimizer and DATA Mining

If you want more information, just let us know!

Best regards,

Hello Pals,

I have seen a presentation in which the author have used CAESES (https://www.caeses.com/) for parametric modelling hull form and doing optimization using Fine Marine. If you are interested in this method I can send you the presentation.

Dear BenoitM,

I am also interested in, could you please give me some more details. Thank you

Dear all,

sure, let us announce it publically first and I will post information on the Forum quite soon.

Can I have the presentation as I'm also having problem to connect Numeca Fine Marine to CAESES. I have input the batch file from Numeca but I still can't get the desired input (resistance)

Hope for your kind assistance and thank you in advance.
