Rhino plug-in development starts
Per your requests, the Rhino plug-in is on its way. This year is going to be full of surprises with new features implemented in both online versions and within Rhinoceros.

Resistance of displacement ships
The initial version of the resistance calculator is now added to the website. The calculator is applicable for most types of ship hulls that sail in the displacement mode, without deeply immersed transoms.
For the prediction of ship resistance in the preliminary stages of the ship design process, naval architects often use methods that are less complex and expensive than CFD simulations and experiments. Michell's thin ship theory can be used to quickly evaluate wave-making resistance, although, the original theory gives poor estimates for conventional hulls. In this calculator, techniques to improve the theory are introduced that account for viscous and non-linear effects. The improvements are validated by numerical simulation on profoundly different hull forms.
Website up & running
The website is being set-up as a skeleton for adding various content, i.e. the website will provide easy, quick and user-friendly access to a large quantity of tools for naval architects and marine engineers.
This website is not a static site: it is continuously updated and checked for quality. User suggestions and requests are welcome. Our team is going to answer the suggestions and submit them to evaluation. You can contact us by using the contact form.
