Ms. Daphne Xin 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2019 Hi every professional, First of all, I would like to ask about why I did the same practice from freedeformation tutorial to obtainthe optimum angle of rotation for my ship's bulbous bow but it fail to do deformation of bulbous bow in my ship model.Why this condition will happen (as shown in picture) and anyone knew the way to solve this problem?Your help is highly appreciate for me, thank you. Sincerely,Ms Daphne. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ceyhan Erdem 14 Report post Posted November 5, 2019 Hi Daphne, Within the project you have provided, I can see that no points were selected for the free form deformation operations.When you select the necessary points and play with the design variable "Angle_Rotation" you will notice that any geometry the free form deformation is assigned to, will be modifying.

Christina 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2021 Greetings Daphne. I am a student doing my final year project. Currently I am looking for document/file for bulbous bow optimization using ffd method. Is it possible for me to get the model of the bulbous bow for me to practice my ffd? It would mean so much to me. Thank you in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
