Rhino and Orca3D: Using Real-time Analysis to Improve Yacht Design and Modeling Efficiency

Robert McNeel & Associates

While there are many yacht design software tools that can be used to create pretty pictures on the screen, an efficient process demands quick analysis of your design’s hydrostatic properties, stability characteristics, and performance. Rhino has become the standard in the marine industry for 3D modeling due to its accuracy, flexibility, power, low cost, and ease of use. Now, with the Orca3D marine design plug-in for Rhino, the designer receives real-time analysis feedback as the model is created and modified, rather than having to export the model to other programs, greatly streamlining the design process.

Presenters: Steve Baer and Bruce Hays
