Tdyn NAVAL Module

The NAVAL module of Tdyn has been specially designed for the simulation of the towing test. For other free surface applications the ODDLS module should be used. Please refer to the tutorial examples of the ODDLS module of Tdyn for further information.

In particular, standard naval problems including ship movement or analysis of complex transon stern flows can be easily analysed using ODDLS module. However, NAVAL module approach can be still interesting in some cases where a detailed capture of the free surface perturbations is required. For those cases, the next sections present some specific tools of the NAVAL module for simulation of dynamic sinkage and trim effects and transom stern flows.
