[PSUBS-MAILIST] CAD for presentation

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

There is a rudimentary fea program called scan & solve, that is a plug infor Rhino 5. I have it but haven't needed to use it yet. I was on a scan & solvewebinar & tried to pin the lecturer down as to how accurate it was; buthe was very elusive. You can export to ??? for fea, forget the name, wasn't solid worksbut was another top program.When I went to the solid works seminar & talked with some of the professionalsabout fea, they were in fear & awe at the mention of it. So I am getting the impressionthat it is pretty specialized & difficult to get really accurate results. Sean mightadd to that. But hey technology moves on.You aren't an old guy like me, so you may want to learn a top program that willbe with you the rest of your life, but people go to tech college full time to learn theseprograms & if you aren't using them a lot you forget things.Alan

Scott,I bought Rhino 5 & Orca, which is a plug in to Rhino & the most popularmarine design program. Haven't touched Orca yet but found Rhino 5 wasmanageable to learn.I spent 4 hrs. at a  Solid Works seminar just learning the updates from oneyear to the next. Some of these programs are so big that it's only worth learning them if you are intending to use them 20 hrs. a week & want to dedicate a year or so learning them.I am finding Rhino 5 totally adequate for designing parts.Alan

 Alan,I think the advice of just learning a full scale system is good because I will have to do it anyway. The drawings for presentation pourposes are
