hydrodynamic losses of a ship

James Downing

hello,

i would like to calculate tha hydrodynamic losses of a hull in star cd. it is the first time that i try to do that in star and i have a lot of questions, so if there is anyone expert on this please answer me.

my questions are: 1) i have to create the water and the ship and the air? or only the water and the ship?

2) what kind of interfaces i have to apply? between which parts?

3) how can i apply the weight of the ship and the velocity ?

4) what else i have to do? 5) is it better to simulate that in star cd or in star ccm?

6)is there any tutorial???

i also have cfx but my director need that in star so... which do you believe is better software for that?

thanks a lot James
