Mr. Iorga Stefan

Hello, I've started to learn Caeses for a while - hull modeling techniques are quite understandable, feature definition, etc - though, all the models provided includes delta bulbs connected to the hull with a coons-patch. The trends in shipbuilding, as you all know, involve a nabla bulbous bow, due to seakeeping, mostly slamming (hammer blow - in romanian), etc. I've taken a break working in Caeses, since I've been quite occupied with various projects, school, some work, etc., and I don't yet have the time to dig into Caeses more than I did last summer/autumn. Anyway, I wanted to ask you some guidelines, maybe a forebody hull model you want to share, with a nabla bulb, faired nicely, without a coons-patch - let's say similar to KCS. Thank you very much, Stefan

Hello, I was wondering if there's a connection between LCF, area of WL, etc., in order to find out a proper distance from the transom (let's say) to the tangent point, from which the half entrance angle iE is measured. Sadly, I can't find any reference for this matter. See the attached image. Thank very much, Stefan
