Kazem 0 Report post Posted April 22 Hi everybody, I am currently working on a project concerning the optimization of the sonar dome of DTMB (David Taylor Basin Model) 5415. I use free form deformation method to parameterized the geometry of sonar dome. I would like to know how continuity condition for this method in CAESES works (Tangent, Curvature and Position options). Unfortunately no documentation is available on the internet. It is greatly appreciated if anybody could help me understand the effect of the mentioned options. Best Regards, Kazem Reza-Asl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Claus Abt 14 Report post Posted April 24 If you keep two layers fixed and move the third point in line of these two first points it will still be curvature continuous. If you move it out of the line you will only maintain tangency continuity. If you keep 3 layers untouched, you will keep curvature continuity. BTW please use CAESES 5 for your work, there is also documentation at https://docs.caeses.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
