Title |
Brief Description |
| Hydrostatics |
Dry
Intersections Lead to Incorrect Results |
Incorrect results are possible when the waterplane intersects
interior "dry" surfaces, either in an upright or heeled condition. |
| Hydrostatics |
Easily finding incorrect
surface normal direction using the Backface Color attribute |
RhinoMarine performs hydrostatics calculations using the surface
analysis mesh, rather than the traditional approach of stations.
Surfaces in Rhino have an "inside" and "outside", and the outside must
be in contact with the water, or RhinoMarine will consider the volume of
that surface to be negative. Using the Backface Color attribute, it is
easy to determine whether the direction is correct for all of the
surfaces in the model. |
