I am working on a research project to analyze the manoevering characteristics in confined waters, i am considering, confined channels and ship-ship conditions. 

my input parameters are:

Ship speed, propeller rate, drift angle, rudder angle, lateral distance and under keel clearance.

I am new to ansys and i'm not sure how to go about it in ansys. 

Please any help will be a good step in the right direction.

Thank you.

Hi,

I suggest you use multiphase model like VOF and in addition you need to use 6DOF to  understand dynamic fluid body interaction.

You can check tutorial on multiphase and 6DOF here:Chapter 21: Using the VOF Model (ansys.com) Chapter 14: Using Overset and Dynamic Meshes (ansys.com)

Thank you.

Thank you for your response. I was able to run the simulation using all resquired parameters but i did run into this error message while running the calculation.

How can i resolve this issue?

Thanks.
