Hi all,I want to perform 3D diffraction analysis of 0 speed ship in Moses. I have developed the panel model of the ship using &SURFACE from 2 blocks of main hull and fwd bulbous bow until aft section. Each block is defined by PLANEs of CARTesian. The blocks are UNIONed then previous blocks are DELETEd.
The panel output (model) shows that several panel are consist of >4 corners. How did that happened and how to fixed these >4 corners panel?I have run the 3D diffraction using the resulted panel output. Are the Motion Response Operators resulted from this panel model valid?
Thanks for responding._fahrozi

Hi Fahrozi,
MOSES will internally change the panels to triangles if needed. If needed means if the panel occupies more than one plane.
I cannot answer the question, "Are RAO results from this panel model valid?" In many past projects models do contain panels with more than four vertices. The RAOs have been accepted.
I hope this helps.

Hi Georgina,
Noted that the panel model is not necessarily the mesh model. Thanks for your answer so I can rest my worry with no further ado.
