FREE SOFTWARE
Programs are released on the Software Forum at boatdesign.net. This is the best place to ask questions regarding the programs.
SID Viscous: Wave resistance and free wave spectra of monohulls and ACV from longitudinal wave cuts.
Michlet: Optimisation of monohulls and multihulls.
Ulimich: A simple program to calculate Michell's Integral. No screen output makes it easy to call from VPP's.
P2D: A simple 2D planing program.
LSP: Thin-wing lifting surface program that estimates lift, induced drag, leading-edge and side-edge suction.
MLWRI: Michell-Lamb Wave Resistance Integral for Wigley hulls.
ZGREEN: Wave patterns made by isolated Havelock sources and sinks.
In preparation...
FIRM: Fully-Integrated Rowing Model.
Flotilla 5.0: Resistance, squat and wave patterns of monohulls, catamarans, ACV and SES.
FlotSM: U.S. Navy's Ship Motion Program (SMP) extended to estimate calm-water resistance and squat of thin monohulls.
