    Hello everybody,

    A few suggestions for the future.

     

    It would be great to be able to define weights in the (ship) model: position and weight values of engines, hulll thickness, and others. Specially for the hydrostatic analysis.

    Improve the connectivity to OpenFOAM. I understand the "connection" file is up to me to prepare, but I couldn't finish succesfully the tutorials with the included connection...

    It would be great to define structural frames in a automated way. (Maybe there is, and I haven't found it yet).

     

    I would love if there was a more extensive manual to the program, or other learning resources. Searching through so many forum posts (through a google search with ads), some as far back as 2013, is really a task. And there's not always an answer. The forum is good for solving particular cases, and sharing the solutions, but to learn to use the different capabilities of the program I'd suggest something like a manual (somebody suggested an all-in-one resource), updated with every version.  The tutorials and videos are good too, but do not comprise all the software's capabilities.
     

    Have a good day!

    Hello everybody!

     

    I have a few days on the openfoam connection, and searching through the forum about it.

     

    I'm trying to follow the "Sduct with OpenFOAM" tutorial, to get a grasp of it. I got to the step 10 (triggering the first run).

     

    The "stdouterroroutput.redirect" file states the error: "fileName::stripInvalid() called for invalid fileName complete/path/to/Runner For debug level (= 2) > 1 this is considered fatal".

    This goes for:

    Exec   : blockMesh -dict system/blockMeshDict

    Exec   : snappyHexMesh -overwrite

    Exec   : simpleFoam

    But in none of these files is there a filename specified, so I got no idea what's happening.

     

     

    Other question:

    The tutorials and video talk of these "software connector" that has been configured before, is there a tutorial to learn to configure this file? Should I install Helyx-os for handling these files? Or I can do that from CAESES?

     

    Cheers, and thanks for your time.

    Hello guys,

     

    I want to 3d print a part of my project, with an online service such as shapeways or 3dhub. Whats the correct way to do that?

     

    I just export the BRep to a .stl file? Or should I first "translate" the BRep to a solid or something?

     

    My closed BRep will be "understood" as a solid? (As I hope). Or it will print as walls with an empty filling?

     

    Cheers!
