Hull Design & Fairing
The design of a vessel in Orca3D begins with the hull model. Hull design is a unique combination of artistic expression and engineering analysis, combining to form a creative process to meet the aesthetic and performance requirements of the vessel.

Basic Hydrostatics & Stability
The process of hull design is more than simply aesthetics; the hull must meet various other requirements, including overall dimensions, displacement, center of buoyancy, and stability. Therefore, the process of hull design and the analysis of hydrostatics and stability must be closely linked.

Parametric Speed & Power
“How fast will it go?” The Orca3D Parametric Speed/Power Analysis module has two different prediction methods: the Savitsky method to predict the speed/power curve for chine hulls, and the Holtrop method to predict the speed/power for displacement hulls.

Orca3D Marine CFD
Orca3D Marine CFD is the combination of the Orca3D marine design plug-in for Rhino and the Simerics-MP (Multi-Purpose) CFD software, to provide a fast, accurate, and easy-to-use CFD solution for the naval architect. 

Weight & Cost
The success of any design hinges on its weight and center of gravity (CG). These parameters are fundamental to stability, speed, payload capacity, seakeeping performance, etc. Weight and CG tracking therefore must be a fundamental part of any design process.
