Orca3D
Orca3D
Orca3D extends Rhino with marine design tools for hull modelling, hydrostatics and naval-architecture analysis.
On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.
Workflow ideas
Shape a hull in Rhino
Begin with the vessel geometry, loading basis and selected design condition. In the intended Orca3D preview, shape a hull in Rhino; 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.
Evaluate hydrostatics
Use the environmental case, analysis settings and operating assumptions. In the intended Orca3D preview, evaluate hydrostatics; 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.
Compare design performance
Start from the compared design cases and reporting template. In the intended Orca3D preview, compare design performance; 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.
