Canoe Design Program (CDP) is design software that aids the design process of the canoe. The CDP will take mathematical inputs such as length, width, depth, the slope of the curve, density, and crew weight to calculate the volume, buoyancy, center of gravity, and waterline, determining the flow-ability of the canoe. Then, the CDP will generate an STL (Standard Triangle Language) file that is water-tight, 3D printable, and testable in CFD (Computational fluid dynamics) software.

 Both calculating and model generating processes can be done manually by using a calculator and CAD software. However, manual methods often confront tremendous efficiency counter-backs considering the voluminous data, a large number of dimensions, and the complexity of functions. For example, manual calculations tend to consume more time when altering parameters and specifications to calculate and construct new models.

 CDP automates this process, heavily increasing efficiency, and ensuring accuracy.

Important for vs code user: YOU MUST FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTION ENTITLED "VScode tutorial Run.pdf" TO

Introduction:

• important: MainGUi : (Graphic User Interface file) is the file
  that you should run, which will start the software
• To properly use this software, you must input proper data
  to access the functions of the software. Otherwise, the software will not generate proper result.
• It is highly recommend to read the introduction document to understand the meaning of variables and the type of hulls
  that you can design.
• You can access the debug mode by clicking the button
  type in "help" to check how to use debug mode
