Video: Adjust­ing Dis­place­ment and LCB in 5 Minutes

In our latest CAESES® release 4.1.2, we have improved the methods to change existing geome­tries by means of shift trans­for­ma­tions and shape defor­ma­tions. In this context, existing geome­tries mainly means data that is given in another CAD system, and which gets imported into CAESES® in order to apply fast changes to it. These trans­for­ma­tions are added to CAESES® to have tools in place that produce results in a very short time frame, e.g. if there is no time avail­able to set up more flexible para­met­ric models. For the design of ship hulls, we offer a trans­for­ma­tion that is called Gen­er­al­ized Lackenby. This object shifts the dis­place­ment and the lon­gi­tu­di­nal center of buoyancy (LCB) accord­ing to the user input. Hence, it gives the user an intu­itive control to change quan­ti­ties that are related to ship design. The fol­low­ing video shows the entire process of data import, hull mod­i­fi­ca­tion and export. Every­thing in less than 5 minutes. Enjoy!
