Orca3D Design Module

This package provides for two distinct, yet related design functions:

Hull Design & Fairing
Basic Hydrostatics & Stability

Orca3D Hull Design & Fairing

Orca3D provides tools to create, fair, and verify any hull shape complete with live hydrostatic feedback.
The RIB Hull Assistant creates the hull, transom, and tubes of a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB)

Key Features for Builders & Designers

Instant Hull Assistants: Generate complete hull forms instantly by entering key dimensional and shape parameters.
Real-Time Cross Sections: Define stations, buttocks, and waterlines that update dynamically as you modify the hull surface.
Live Hydrostatics: Track critical stability and hydrostatic data in real time with every control vertex tweak.
Advanced Surface Control: Smoothly transition forefoot geometry with curvature-continuous blending from the stem to the bottom.
Total Modelling Flexibility: Build everything from simple single-surface shapes to complex multi-surface vessels using advanced blending, trimming, and filleting.

Whether you are designing simple recreational boats or complex commercial vessels, Orca3D ensures their final geometry is fair, buildable, and ready for advanced analysis.

Orca3D’s Basic Hydrostatics & Stability

This module delivers an integrated solution that links hull design directly with real-time naval architecture analysis using a single NURBS surface model. By computing properties from first principles, the software ensures accurate, fast, and robust calculations for virtually any floating structure.

Key Capabilities

Real-time synchronization: Updates hydrostatic properties instantly as the hull surface is modified.
Comprehensive analysis: Computes intact hydrostatics, wetted surface, stability parameters, and righting arm curves.
Vessel versatility: Evaluates monohulls, multihulls, and complex geometries without architectural limitations.
Flexible modelling: Accepts un-joined surfaces, missing decks, and half-models, minimizing preparation time.
Professional reporting: Generates tabular data and plots exportable to Microsoft Excel and Adobe PDF formats.

Design differently.

Your imagination isn't two-dimensional.
Neither should your CAD be.

Imagine… Explore freely. Express precisely.

Before there's a model, there's an idea. Something you can see in your head but haven't yet worked out. A shape. A possibility. A problem that needs a different solution.

The designer brings the idea. The process of designing reveals what the idea can become. The software should enable that process without getting in the way.

That's where Rhino comes in.

Try Rhino

Contemporary building designed with Rhino

The software doesn't lead.
The idea does.

Good design doesn't always begin with a fully defined solution.

You start with an idea. You test it. You change it. You see something you hadn't seen before.

Rhino gives you a direct way to work with the geometry of your design, so you can develop the idea as you think it through.

Explore an idea far enough, and new possibilities emerge.

The software isn't deciding the destination. It gives you the freedom to discover it.

An idea evolving through exploration, testing, refinement and iteration

Explore freely.

Freeform surface exploration in Rhino

Design is rarely a straight line. You discover something by trying it. Then you change it. Then something else becomes possible.

The process itself becomes part of the discovery.

Express precisely.

Precise complex form developed in Rhino

Exploration is useful when what you discover can become something precise. Rhino brings freedom and accuracy together, retaining the precision needed to measure, communicate, share and make the design.

Freedom to explore. Precision to deliver.

Rhino in your toolkit.

Rhino is a mature, comprehensive design tool that can carry an idea from its first possibility through to precise, finished geometry.

A broad design tool.

Surface, solid, SubD and mesh modelling sit alongside drafting, analysis, documentation and manufacturing tools.

Built around complex form.

Rhino works with complex, freeform shapes as naturally as it works with precise geometry.

Works with your toolkit.

You don't have to abandon specialist tools that already serve a useful part of your workflow.

A companion when needed.

Use Rhino for the whole process or where its particular strengths are most valuable.

Works with the tools you already use.

Rhino supports a remarkably broad range of CAD, 3D, mesh, drawing and manufacturing formats.

Bring geometry into Rhino.
Develop and refine it.
Move it into other tools when required.
Keep the tools that work best for you.

CAD file compatibility

Bring it in. Work with it. Take it wherever it needs to go.

Whatever you're designing, start with the idea.

Rhino is used across a remarkably broad range of design disciplines.

Architecture

Explore form, space and detail.

Industrial design

Develop objects where form, function and production come together.

Product design

Develop precise products and complex forms.

Jewellery design

Create intricate production-ready geometry.

Marine design

Develop complex surfaces where shape and accuracy matter.

Furniture design

Explore organic and precise forms through to manufacture.

Engineering

Develop accurate geometry for technical applications.

Manufacturing & CNC

Move precise geometry into computer-controlled manufacturing.

Prototyping & fabrication

Turn digital designs into prototypes and finished forms.

Landscape design

Design considered natural and built environments.

Civil engineering

Develop terrain, infrastructure and built-environment geometry.

Art & design

Create expressive forms that communicate ideas and culture.

And sometimes, you can design the rules too.

Computational design

Some problems can't be solved by drawing the answer directly. Define relationships, rules and possibilities, then explore what those relationships can produce.

Explore an idea far enough, and new possibilities emerge.
