Usually themost difficult step in designing a hull with NURBS is creating theinitial 3D shape after you have that, modifying and fairing theshape is straightforward. Hull design in Orca3D is done using NURBS surfaces (see the RhinoHelp file for a complete discussion of NURBS surfaces). There are no limits tothe types of shapes that can be analyzed monohulls, multihulls,submersibles, drilling rigs, etc.Ĭreate hull surfaces quickly with HullAssistants Orca3D uses the surface model to compute hydrostatics, and canhandle complex models with arbitrary shapes. WithOrca3D, a single button click will compute and display a completetable of intact hydrostatics and stability information, with outputto the screen, as well as optionally to other formats such asMicrosoft Excel® and Adobe Acrobat®. In order to design a meaningful hull, you must be able to computethe intact hydrostatics, to ensure that you are meeting the basicrequirements for displacement and LCB, as well as the less obvious,but still important, objectives for block coefficient, prismaticcoefficient, initial stability, and many other parameters. Watchthe curves update in real time as you modify a surface, or chooseto update them manually, with a single button click, after you havemade a series of changes to your model. Orca3D adds the capability to Rhino to easily define a table ofstations, buttocks, waterlines, cant frames, inclines, anddiagonals, and immediately see the curves on the surface(s). If you stillneed to import or export data, Rhino and Orca3D support a broadrange of file formats, making the process as quick and painless aspossible.Įasily cut stations, buttocks, waterlines, and othersections through your model This time is totallynon-productive, and steals from the creative process. When you design process includes using multiple programs, anamazing amount of your day can be spent trying to accurately moveyour model from one program to another.

Single program, without the need for filetransfers Is it anincredibly powerful 3D modeling system that includes true navalarchitectural tools, or a marine design program with amazing 3Dmodeling and rendering capabilities? Think of it either way, butthe bottom line is that it will be easier to learn, moreproductive, and more fun! Orca3D runs as a plug-in to the Rhino program, so you don’t need tolearn another user interface and set of terminology. Instead of wasting countless hours movingyour model from one program to another, you can focus all yourenergy on the creative aspects of your design, so that all yourworking time is productive time.

All the tools you need are at your fingertips in a singleintuitive environment. Orca3D makes designing any type of vessel apleasure.
