WinDesign 6 User Seminar

The analysis tools available to yacht designers are becoming more sophisticated and quicker and cheaper to run, what needs to develop in parallel with this is a software infrastructure that reduces the burden of communication between collaborating technical groups. In developing the innovative WinDesign 6 VPP the aim has been three fold: • to provide extended functionality in terms of force and moment balance, component based force models, and improved geometry input; • to provide a platform that allows geometry and results to be exchanged securely and accurately among project collaborators; • to create a VPP frame work that can integrate with the wide range of experimental and Computational tools now available. The WinDesign 6 Seminar at the University of Southampton on September 16th not only offers a preview of the WinDesign 6 VPP but also the development of the collaboration tool ‘Brio’ and the open source RANS CFD code ‘OpenFOAM’. WinDesign 6 has been developed to integrate seamlessly with these tools. Download seminar programme (PDF, 87 KB). Please email the Wolfson Unit for further information.
