Analysing Curve and Surface Curvature

Within the graphics window geometry can by analysed by reviewing curvature and in addition in the case of surfaces, reflection lines (Isophotes). This information is displayed graphically allowing the user to manipulate the surface to improve the quality is desired.

Hydrostatics and Section Area Curves

Hydrostatic calculations can be performed on hull forms represented by surfaces, section data and polygon facet representations. The results can be displayed for a number of draughts, covering a wide range of quantities.

Hydrostatics Tables

Section area curves can also be generated for a number of draughts and result displayed as graphical or tabular data.

Generating Lines Plans

A dedicated interface is provided to generate lines plans from three dimensional hull surfaces. The interface provides a range of different plan views and allows different annotation to be added to the drawing. It can be saved as an exported DXF or added to the graphics window.

Printing to Scale

In addition to being able to print and copy the graphics window scene, the software features an interface with which printed hardcopy can be produced to scale. Using a large format printer, full scale templates can be printed for any physical modelling project.
