MICHLET
Michlet calculates the total resistance, far-field wave elevations and sea-bed pressures of thin monohulls and multihulls. Artificial life methods are used to minimise resistance and wave elevations. Examples bundled with the program include kayaks, rowing shells, catamarans, proas, SWATH, trimarans, tetramarans, pentamarans, submarines, frigates and destroyers. A simple spreadsheet version, Michlyt, calculates the total resistance of monohulls, with or without transom sterns.
