Module 2 – hull & superstructure modelling
3D Ship Modelling Webinar & Workshop

Ships Hull Modelling
• Different with manual / academic study… Model Set UP
hull modelling must include model of
superstructure & deckhouse Why? • sistership & benchmark
• Deck house & superstructure could be
• Primary Data – hull
categorized as watertight compartment • Ship particulars (LOA, B, T,
(depend on purpose and design code) H, form coefficient)
• Deck house & superstructure also • Displacement, SAC, LCG
contributes to overall ship resistance (drag
• Lines plan
force of air) and effect on resistance
simulation • Primary data - superstruture
• For some analysis, the shape of deckhouse • Calculation & Preliminary
& superstructure will effect to ship load as lay out
load boundaries for analysis

Model simulation - Maxsurf Model surface
MODELLING TERMINOLOGY
Software maxsurf modeller Control point -
Version 20 Several point that link with every
specific coordinate and develop
Edition Advanced and generate as surface (with or
without mathematic equation)
Surface generating type
NURB (Non-Uniform Rational
polyline Spline interpolation Basis Spline) SURFACE B-spline SURFACE

Model simulation - Maxsurf Hull modelling set up
Use design reference New hull form Export table of offset
• Use maxsurf design library • Make the hull design from • Export table of offset from
and modified / edit as our the beginning creating hull spreadsheet
hull form criteria surfaces
• No need to edit for SAC
• Edit to match SAC • Edit to match SAC matching
