The Union of Naval Architects

61 members

Description

This group is intended as a collective of gh users who have a marine background.

Despite the name you do not have to be a Naval Architect to join. Whether you are a budding Optimist Sailor or Admiral of the Fleet please feel free to share and discuss any topics relevant to Grasshopper and the Maritime Industry.

Also acceptable "Off Topics" of conversation include "How will l'Hydroptere fair on her Transpacific Record attempt?" Or "Should Juan K have been appointed the VOR one design, or is he to arrogant to toe the line?".

However I would like to point out that the level of decorum should not descend to that of Sailing Anarchy and there will be no Fridays here!

CFD analysis

by Manuel Sotomayor Millan

Jul 26, 2012

I have been looking for long for a cfd software or plugin ready to interact with rhino.

Does somebody know about one, maybe whatever software with an open SDK??

Thanks in advance

    there was an old article with a Rhino script enabling export of Grasshopper data into Solid Works for analysis (and therefor CFD analysis too). I can not find it, but they eventually quit developing the script, and it was not officially published, if I recall it correctly.

    But it is possible to get the CFD analysis through Ecotect:

    Also Daniel Davis, made a simple C script which enables some very basic CFD flow:

      I don't know of one.

      I have been looking into something though that might work, but it would need a lot of development. Not sure if the time and money is available for such a R&D project at the moment though.

      Might be something "we" (TUNA) can work on?
