Hullspeed lets you estimate the resistance and power requirements for any Maxsurf design
using industry standard prediction techniques.
Calculation methods
provided in Hullspeed include: Savitsky pre and post planing; Lahtiharju for planing
vessels; Holtrop for fast displacement hulls; Series 60 for large ships; van Oortmerssen
for full form hulls such as tugs and trawlers; and Delft systematic yacht series for
sailing yachts.

Prefit provides a range of tools to assist in creating a Maxsurf design to
match an existing lines plan or table of offsets.
When you need to create
a Maxsurf design to match an existing hull shape, Prefit provides a range of spline and
surface fittings tools to make the fitting process faster and more accurate.
Data points can come
from any source and can be typed in, read from a text file, or imported via DXF. If only a
small number of offsets are available, Prefit lets you enrich the data prior to fitting.
A built-in offsets
editor lets you review and modify the offsets table prior to fitting. Offsets can also be
pasted to and from spreadsheets to allow you to sort or modify the data. Additional
offsets can be added, or unwanted offsets removed, at any time.

Span provides sailing performance analysis for yachts in a variety of sailing conditions
and produces performance polar curves to show predicted speeds.
Using calculation
methods similar to the original IMS Velocity Performance Prediction Program, Span solves
the equations for lift and drag for hull and rig and finds an equilibrium velocity and
angle of heel. Span's calculations operate through a variety of true wind angles and speed
and calculate with both spinnaker up and spinnaker down.

Hydrolink provides industry standard data exchange between a range of modeling,
performance, prediction and hydrostatics programs.
Although the
Maxsurf range provides a complete suite of design and analysis tools, there may be
occasions when you need to transfer data to and from other systems. Hydrolink provides a
range of data translation options which allow you to move models both to and from Maxsurf
and other programs.
The Maxsurf modeling
module provides import and export of DXF and IGES files. Hydrolink's data exchange options
compliment this, with capabilities to read and write files of NURB surfaces and to w rite
offsets files in a format compatible with a number of hydrostatics and VPP programs.
Hydrolink Features

Supports a wide variety of hydrostatics programs |
