plicit” ones as the single step is much cheaper. Box (3) proposes an efficient
coupled solution strategy.
Fig. (4) presents the results of the coupled analysis of a genoa and main
sail; a genoa alone is presented in Fig (4) The results obtained by this approach
are presented in Fig. (4) in application to the simulation of a genoa and main
sail.
