Display Menu

The Display menu contains commands for turning on and off items displayed in the graphics windows.

Grid

Displays the sections grid.

Contours

The Contours option allows you to select which hull contours are drawn on the screen at any given time. If conformal mappings have been calculated these may be displayed.

Graph Options

Select this dialog to select which data sets from the current datasheet are visible.

Section Data

In some cases data may be displayed by section or frequency (section forces and section hydrodynamics). When either of these sheets are displayed in the Results or the Graph Windows, you may select the display method and current frequency or section from this dialog.

Render

Displays a 3D rendered view of the vessel in regular waves of the selected frequency. The default wave height is based on a LOA / 80 wave but is also limited by the maximum wave slope. The wave amplitude may be set in the Display | Render or Animate dialogs.

Animate

Creates a time-domain animation of the vessel travelling through waves of the specified frequency. You may select the number of frames and also save the animation as an avi file. Once all the frames have been generated, use the numeric key-pad + and - keys to adjust the speed of the animation. The time step[s], heave, roll and pitch are displayed in the bottom right of the window.
