Abstract:

DPOSBOW is an interactive version of the program POSBOW which has been developed for generating a static wave profile from a ship hull bodyplan. The wave profile is produced as a file which can be accessed by the ship hull finite element modelling program SHIPHUL. The wave profile data is used by SHIPHUL to generate a hull pressure load in the format of the finite element program VAST.
