Hullform  4.67
Hullform is the name given to a family of hull design programs. They have been continuously developed since the 1980s, running initially on a large mainframe computer (remember those?), then on IBM-compatible PCs running MS-DOS (remember those?). It now runs under Windows (including Windows 7) and "x86"-based Linux systems. The source files, Makefile and LCC-win32 project file are now available for download. These files are provided without warranty of any kind, and no support is offered.   (Added: 4-Jan-2004 Hits: 67115) | Rate | Visit
JSDN  0
jSDN is a NURBS based yacht modeling and analysis software. It is based on SDN, but it has been redesigned with many new functionalities and much more accurate calculations, which are being validated with real designs. Although SDN was programmed in C, jSDN has been developed using the Java language, so that it can be run on many operating systems. The only requisites are a Java virtual machine and the Java 3D software (J3D 1.4 or above). The main goal of jSDN is allowing the designer to fast prototype any kind of sailing yacht, including elements like hull, spars, sails and appendages. Although it is not limited to sailing vessels, both the working procedure and tools are targeted and optimized for those. (Added: 12-Jun-2008 Hits: 6347) | Rate | Visit
