You have been introduced to the way in which Hullspeed works and can now go on to learn in detail how to use Hullspeed by following the example outlined in this chapter.
The example uses a simple planing hull form whose data are supplied in a Hullspeed file called ‘HullspeedExample.hsd’; these are measured from the Maxsurf design file ‘HullspeedExample.msd’.
The example goes through the steps needed to predict the resistance of the hull.
