CAD Course in Rhino Operation
The purpose of this course is to instruct students, practicing designers, and draftsmen in "on screen" design. It utilizes the Rhino software which the industry accepts as one of the best software for on screen design of yachts and small craft currently available. The course centers around the development of hulls and decks of various types. It covers detailing, rendering and producing practical direct output as final drawings, and for pattern making for builders of a designs using both computer controlled and manual pattern production. It also covers stability calculations.
Flat Bottom Hulls Using Developable Surfaces
What I learned in this lesson
How the course woks, Limits of the course, Limitations on CAD in Yacht Design, Setting up a new model or template for work, Saving my work, Flat bottom hulls, Using orthographic projection & the grid, Defining lines with interpolated curves, The ruled surface, Introducing curvature evaluation for curves, Introducing curvature evaluation for surfaces, Developing sheers in full perspective, Using the fair command, Finishing off the flat bottom hull
Vee Bootom and Multichine Hulls Using Developable Surfaces
What I learned in this lesson
Using layers, Vee bottom hulls, Introducing contours, Hydrostatics, Multichine hulls, Developing an offset table & doing lofting, Additional notes on possible problems in using the loft command, Evaluating the design through renderings, Adding an appendage, Straight, round & flared stems
Radiused chine and round bottom hulls with fin keels and skeg hung rudderss
What I learned in this lesson
Adding a radiused chine to a vee bottom hull, Defining a basic round bottom hull, Creating a planar sheer, Creating the stem curve, Creating the midsection, Creating a stern section, Creating the underbody centerline, Creating the hull surface, An alternate method, Adding a deck, Checking the hydrostatics, Checking hull shape, Checking shape using diagonals amidship & fore and aft, Adding a fin keel or skeg and rudder using foil curves and surfaces, Adding a fillet to the keel, NACA four digit foils
Excel Formulars and Importing Point Clouds into Rhino
What I learned in this lesson

Stability Calculations
What I learned in this lesson
Why Rhino instead of a special purpose package, Use of the analyze command to find volumes & centers, Placement of the Center of Gravity, Setting up the model for stability calculations, Heeling the hull, Displacement of the heeled hull, Trim of the heeled hull, Center of buoyancy of the heeled hull and righting arm, Creating a table of righting moments, Creating a stability curve in Rhino, Extending concepts in stability, Limitations of static stability calculations
