how to specify mesh size in moses ?

I'm trying to give mesh for my model. On what bases we have to specify mesh size?

  • Hi Rajeswari,

    I would like to add that the panel size should be at least 1/8 of the wavelength of the smallest wave in your simulation. This means that for waves with low time periods (and consequently shorter wavelengths), the mesh size should be smaller. As a good practice, you should conduct convergence studies to determine if your hydrodynamic coefficients (such as added mass and radiation damping) are converging with a lower panel size. If your results are converging, there is no need to further refine your panels, as it will only increase your CPU time without any advantage. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at rahul.kanotra@inventocean.com.

    Thanks,
