Building the Mesh

The steps involved in creating the mesh for the computational domain are :

Select the Marine Template Mesher in the Mesh Panel
Select Extended Mode for the Setup Options drop-down list .
Select New Mesh under Create/Replace Meshin the Properties Panel
Enter marine under Mesh Name.
Select Analysis Type as Resistance/Powering.
Select Normal in the Mesh Size drop down list.
Click Build Marine Mesh. The well resolved mesh marine for the computational domain is created and displayed under the Built Meshes in the Geometric Entities Panel.

Note : For general information about the above specifications, check mesh.
