NAPA
NAPA Designer
NAPA Designer supports early-stage ship design, hull form development and arrangement work.
On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.
Workflow ideas
Develop a hull surface
Begin with the vessel geometry, loading basis and selected design condition. In the intended NAPA Designer preview, develop a hull surface; the visible result is a hull or system model with principal dimensions and compartments visible. Review coordinate system, displacement, openings and watertight intent before accepting or exporting it.
Arrange principal spaces
Use the environmental case, analysis settings and operating assumptions. In the intended NAPA Designer preview, arrange principal spaces; the visible result is hydrostatic, hydrodynamic or structural results tied to the vessel state. Review criteria, headings, periods, load transfer and solver validity before accepting or exporting it.
Check design-stage hydrostatics
Start from the compared design cases and reporting template. In the intended NAPA Designer preview, check design-stage hydrostatics; the visible result is a traceable performance, production or stability package. Review margins, units, condition identity and naval-architecture judgement before accepting or exporting it.
