How it works?
o Boundary representation model consist of
points, boundary lines and surfaces.
o Each boundary line connected to end points.
o Each surface connected to boundary lines.
o All together: lines, points and surface forms
shape where all elements are linked.
o After modification of the element all
connected elements will follow the
modification.
o Shape of the lines and surfaces can be
changed by modification of their respective
control points.

From idea to production.
o Support design life-circle.
o Build hull model in very beginning of design.
o Use actual hull lines for making drawings.
o Follow design ideas with modification of the model and
updating hull lines.
o Final lines fairing based on the same model.
o Exact shape used for hull production.
o Keep faired hull for the future design.

Enhance your experience.
o Store all shape revisions during design process.
o Use fore, aft and parallel mid body blocks division.
o The easiest way to make preliminary lines is to use
lines from previous projects.
o Blocks transformation help to join blocks together.
o Every new hull shape may be used in future design.

Optimization of the hull
performance.
o Test your hull shape with computational fluid
dynamics and show results together with hull shape.
o Modify hull shape and run CFD again.
o Save time and money by improving the surface
before tank testing.
o Dynamical hydrostatics characteristics calculation
helps to keep required values during hull surface
modification.
