Orca 3D for Rhino

Tailored for naval architects, marine engineers, and enthusiasts, Orca offers a comprehensive suite of tools for hull design, hydrostatics, stability analysis, and performance validation.

Craft and fine-tune vessel hulls with precision, ensuring seaworthiness and exceptional performance. Seamlessly integrated with Rhino 3D, Orca simplifies complex maritime projects, enhancing productivity and design quality.

It’s the ultimate solution for those seeking to create and analyse vessels of all sizes, setting a new standard for excellence in naval architecture and marine engineering.

Orca have restructured their offerings since the Levels. Orca also offers these as Perpetual licences, if you need a quote for perpetual licence or have any questions about which module is for you, please reach out to the team.

Highlights of Orca3D Version 3

• Unlimited number of conditions (Fixed Load Cases) may be saved for Basic Hydrostatics (replacing the single Design condition).
• Floodable Length calculation.
• Multiple sets of Section definitions, to be used for hull design and fairing, hydrostatics, or lines drawings and offset tables.
• Grasshopper components for Hull Assistants, Basic Hydrostatics & Stability, Planing Hull Resistance, and Displacement Hull Resistance.
• Weight Reports may now be grouped by Material.
• Stock Material Library now has Export and Merge functions, and the user may specify the location of the Library xml file.
• Added flexibility in selection of surface(s) for Planing and Displacement Resistance prediction, as well as the Load Case to be used.
• Addition of van Oortmerssen resistance method.
• Improved analysis reporting throughout.

 Orca3D Design

Includes the Hull Design & Fairing, and Basic Hydrostatics & Stability features. This is equivalent to the previous Level 1

Orca3d Analysis

Includes the Speed/Power feature, the CFD interface, and the Weight & Cost feature. This is equivalent to the previous Level 2, except that it does not include the Level 1 functionality and is priced accordingly. The previous Level 2 was equivalent to the Design and Analysis modules together. The ANALYSIS module is not dependent on the DESIGN module so it may be purchased without the DESIGN module.

Advanced Stability

This is a Rhino Plugin model which aids in designing boats, ships and other marine vehicles. This module includes compartmentation and tank modeling, fluid and solid loads, unlimited load cases, free surface effects, intact and damaged stability with stability criteria evaluation, and tank tables. Please note, this is a major new module, not an update/upgrade from Version 1/Version 2.
