Michigan Concrete Canoe Team

Below is a general outline for the Michigan Concrete Canoe Team process by which a concrete canoe may be developed. Some of the programs used in the design and development of the canoe can be found on Univeristy of Michigan CAEN Sites (i.e. Rhino, AutoCAD, Fastship, ABAQUS).

3D Hull Design - Techniques and suggestions for using Rhinoceros to create an organic hull form
Computing Hydrostatics - Defining variables and showing how to use Rhino to do some of the work for you
Calculating Drag - How to use KAPER drag analysis spreadsheet
Finite Element Analysis - Developing methods for FEA on hull forms
Presentation - Render and Animate final design
Mix Design - Proportion the concrete ingredients
Construction
Presentation
