Hullform Description
Design and Fairing:
based on a network of 400 lines and 100 transverse sections;
add, delete, edit sections on an isometric view of all lines and sections;
add, delete, edit lines;
relocate and redefine sections;
alter measurement units;
rescale all or part of design;
enter offsets of existing design;
catamaran support;
generate NACA foil profiles automatically;
design hull using multiple intersecting surfaces;
rounded stem;
rounded and raked transom;
zoom in section editing;
automatic conversion of monohull to catamaran;
automatic generation of stringers (See below);
plate development (See below);
internal tanks for damage and operating stability assessments;.
retain "overlay" design for reference viewing when working on a similar design.
Hydrostatics:
fixed or free floating;
reports to screen for any heel angle;
write hydrostatic values in tabular form to a text file;
hydrostatic cross-plots and tables, all exportable to word processors and spreadsheets..
Viewing:
orthogonal - plan, profile (elevation) and body plan (end elevation);
perspective - full, port and starboard half. Perspective views can be rotated and perspective effects adjusted using the keyboard arrow keys or the scrollbar. Draw fair lines between sections; animated and shaded surface views;
zoom in on any orthogonal or persective view.
Plate Development:
evaluate and show the developability of a surface between any pair of adjacent hull lines;
plot the shape of any developed surface when rolled out flat (for cutting from plate);
export rolled-out plate to a DXF file.
Stringers:
calculate stringer locations between any adjacent pair of hull lines, for fixed stringer count or fixed stringer spacing;
include stringer notches in frame views (See File Output, below).
Drag calculations:
six empirical drag schemes (Gerritsma 1981 and 1996, Holtrop and Mennen, Oortmerrssen, Savitsky, Savitsky and Brown);
detailed summary of drag for any speed;
plot any combination of the six drag curves against speed.
Data Input:
read vertical offsets of curved waterline (e.g., wave effects on stability);
import offsets of an existing design in a range of tabular formats.
import some DXF files
import GHS files
File Output:
print or plot any display;
frame outlines with thickness corrections and stringer notches (including angled cutouts on corners and holes at frame corners) ;
lateral offsets of waterlines;
VRML output of hull surface;
write 2- or 3-dimensional DXF representation of the hull, for use by CAD programs.
export GHS file
Utility Functions:
run any program from Hullform menu;
DDE server.
Print/Plot Output:
print to any printer or plotter device supported by Windows;
plot to any printer device with graphics capacity or any plotter supported by Windows.
write any view to a range of graphic formats (particularly WMF, DXF and HPGL)
Graphical User Interface:
use any display supported by Windows;
mouse support for all normal functions plus line and section editing;
