Hull Modeling & Fairing – Basic

This course, intended for ship, yacht and small craft designers, covers the foundations of NURBS-based hull surface modelling, including hydrostatics concepts of displacement, buoyancy and waterplanes. From concept sketch to assessing hull fairness, different hull types are reviewed: fairbody sailing hull, hard-chine, bulbous-bow displacement.
