FANTASTIC modeling! At this point, my mental image of my next sub is
configuration #4... even though it doesn't make use of the double endcap
approach. I dunno, I'm wavering between that and #6.

Rgds,

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] OSS Modeling Ideas

I did some thinking about doing some modeling for OSS but that is a
pretty
vague situation.  So my first thought was to look at Seating
arrangments.  I
setup about six different two man arrangements.  I used a standard
cylinder
hull for half and then used Thijs Idea of the Double endcap for the
other
half.  So if people interested could look and weigh in on what seating
configuration they like best, that would point me in the right
direction.
ALSO if you have a different idea please send it in and I can add it for
consideration.  Mind you this is for modeling Ideas only I am not using
this
to steer the direction of OSS.  I just want to come up with some models
that
can be used for determining design direction if people choose to use
them.

Also Thijs I  know you had the Idea of having the Endcaps on their side.
I
will incorporate a seating model for this soon.

Thanks,
Jeremy
