here is the test file:
I have taken the FREEship default hull, saved it as IGES (new model). Loaded into FC gave a blank screen.
Loaded into TCAD2018 and saved as IGES again (TCAD Test)
FC could read it as a compound of 4 surfaces. By exploding the compound and upgrading the 4 surfaces into a shell (DRAFT WB), I got at least the screeenshot picture. But here ends the story. I failed in making a solid out of it, because I could add the missing faces but I could not make a shell of it.
Of course, I can make a full hull in FREEship, but reformatting the file with a third party software and clicking then on every single surface segment is a bit impractical. The real hull is a bit more complex ...
One remark to FREEship and the "real world example": Although I use DELFTship sometimes for designing a hull, I have NOT the pro version. For getting an IGES file I have to downgrade the hull to FREEship 2.6, but this is usually no problem
