Orca3D Advanced Hydrostatics & Stability

This module provides naval architects and designers with a comprehensive marine analysis suite that operates entirely within the Rhino environment, eliminating the need to import or export models.

The software uses 3D volume integration rather than traditional station integration, allowing it to accurately analyze complex, non-ship-shaped geometry.

Compartmentation Analysis with Orca3D Advanced Stability Module

Core Features

• Compartmentation Modelling: Subdivides closed surfaces or polysurfaces into tanks and watertight or non-watertight compartments using decks, bulkheads, or custom Rhino geometry.
• Dynamic Load Cases: Enables users to define combination loading scenarios using fixed weights and tank fluids (calculated via precise fluid center-of-gravity shifts or traditional virtual rise methods) while assigning intact, damaged, or frozen statuses to individual compartments.

Advanced stability in Ora3D

• Advanced Analyses & Stability Criteria: Solves for equilibrium flotation, generates righting arm data, and automatically evaluates models against custom or predefined stability criteria (such as wind heeling, downflooding points, lifting weights, and margin lines) to deliver instantaneous Pass/Fail reports.
• Automated Data Reporting: Generates customizable tank capacity tables and comprehensive area/volume reports that export directly into formatted PDF, Word, Excel, and CSV formats.
• Adaptive Design Integration: Automatically preserves compartmentation history, allowing designers to update or swap out underlying hull geometry without losing previously defined subdivision data.
• Process Automation: Features complete scripting support, allowing developers to automate model building and analysis execution or link the platform with external optimization tools.
