Hello,

I want to simulation the net system（just the net used in aquaculture or other fish gear like trawl...) under the effect of currents or waves(or combined currents and waves) with four side fixed, and to get deformation of the net and the tension of net twines. Something like the finite element simulation.

Of course， later, I also want to add cables and yoga tension in the net system.

Can reef3d realize this function?

Thank you for help in advance!

Hi Wudali,

we have used REEF3D for aquaculture structures including net deformation, see here:

Hi!

For simulation of net panels in a static or dynamic mode, you could refer the command X 320, X 321 and X 322 in REEF3D User Guide. And we're still working on the further developments of cables, please check out later in the REEF3D RC. Thanks for your feedback!

Kindly regards,
