Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Matthias Broersma, Jun 17, 2004.

  1. hello,
    i am working on a porject for a catamaran, and was wondering, when i will
    have finished my drawing in autocad of the boat, is it possible to simulate
    within autocad the flow of the water? or do i need other programs?

    thank you and excuse me for my bad english

    You'll definitely need something much different from AutoCAD.

  4. If you're reall serious about modeling, you could use FLUENT software. It
    ain't cheap and it takes a good bit of learning. But I believe it was used
    for the hull simulations for the Americas cup winners of the last five
    years.

  5. thanks for the suggestion.
    the project im working on is for hobby... but i would like to optimize it.
    is there some program maybe less precise but more affordable?


    thanks.mat
