Question:

I am having trouble with the wave command, please check the following
information.  The wave crest should be amidship.

1) Wave length is 512 ft, height is 40 ft.
2) Angle of approach is zero
3) Model origin is 5 ft from the Forward Perpendicular.


Answer:


Your wave goes through 360 degrees in 512 feet, and midship is 40.73 feet from
the origin which is 360 * 40.73 / 512 = 28.64 degrees.  Therefore, you should
shift the phase of the wave by this amount to put its peak at midship:

  WAVE 28.64, 512, 40


You can check the wave profile (assuming you have a component HULL\HULL.C) by
the command:
