Analyzed Model

From the plane of lines a 3d model was made, to be able to perform the meshing to perform the

calculations.

Mesh

To analyze the model, a mesh was made with 1,709,236 elements, refinements were made in key areas.

Like rudders and surface planes.

Va. Calculation

Conclusion

From the analysis carried out, values are observed that exceed the propulsive capacity possible to install,

therefore the proposed limits for the project should be re-analyzed.
