Pepare Hull
The
next step is to check the hull to see if can be
surface meshed and therefore can make a volume
mesh for the analysis. EHP can detect automatically
if the hull is a full hull or a open half-hull and will run
some routines to
automatically
prepare or fix the
hull surface. Please
note EHP does not
currently suppor t
closed half-hull
geometries, so there
is no need to close
the hull if it was
taken from standard
hull design software.
EHP is already
prepared to handle
open hull geometries.
To start, simple click Check Hull. If there are no
users, so if you have not repaired surfaces in STARCCM+ yet, either fix the surface in your exporting
software, or consider taking a training in STAR-CCM+
geometry preparation.
After EHP reports that no errors are found, you
can optionally set your Initial Trim and also Clip the
Superstructure (if applicable) from the top of your
hull geometry. EHP will
calculate weight by initial
sinkage,
so
the
superstructure is not
needed and will slow the
calculation down if
included. Ensure the clip
height is above the
designed maximum water
level for the speeds you
intend! Set Trim first, then
Clip Superstructure, and
click Commit for each
Step 4
Hull Parameters
Please Note!!!
The displacement is for the actual hull you
imported. If the hull is in model scale, the
displacement will represent the amount of water the
model scale hull displaces, not the full size hull.

Step 5
Report Panel
The
next step is set your output and how you want
to view it.
If you would like to use
your companys PPT
template, you can load it
b y c l i ck i n g o n L o a d
Template. Otherwise, a
standard PPT format will
be generated.
All checked plots and
scenes will be included in
the PPT. If they are not
checked, the tables and/or
images will not be made in
the sim file. This does
speed the calculation up
somewhat since the
images are not created,
but keep in mind you will
have to manually create
the scenes after the run is
Step 6
Test Parameters
Finally,
lets setup the virtual test parameters and
get results for your hull design.
By default, EHP is set up to
provide a batch script to
submit the design to your
computing environment. EHP
is very efficient in solving your
case, but will still take 8-16
cores to compute for a single
