Maxsurf Webinar 1 - Working WIth Existing Designs

Our first Maxsurf webinar was held December 7th 2010. The topic was Working With Existing Designs.

Maxsurf offers a range of tools to help you create a Maxsurf model of an existing design. This webinar covered managing offsets, creating a TriMesh surfaces for analysis purposes, automated creation of NURB surfaces, and manual fitting of NURB curves and surfaces.

Videos

	Creating a Trimesh Surface from an Existing Design Video showing how to create a TriMesh hull surface in Maxsurf from offsets for an existing design. A TriMesh surface can be used for hydrostatics and stability, motions prediction or resistance prediction.  play
	Creating Surfaces by Skinning Curves It is possible to create a surface by creating a "skin" over a series of section curves. This video shows how to create curves from offsets and then create surfaces from curves.  play
	Working With Background Images If you only have drawings for an existing design, you can scan them to a jpeg image and then use them as a background image in Maxsurf.  play
	Fitting Existing Designs With Prefit How to automatically fit a surface to an existing table of offsets using the Prefit module.  play
