HydroComp NavCad Premium 2023.2 with Full Features
HydroComp NavCad Premium 2023.2 is a sophisticated software package designed for hydrodynamic and propulsion system simulation, enabling maritime designers to analyze and optimize vessel performance. It focuses on providing accurate predictions for speed, power, and efficiency across a wide range of marine vehicles.
Here are some of the key features of HydroComp NavCad Premium 2023.2:
Core Simulation and Analysis Capabilities:
· Vessel Resistance Prediction: Offers a comprehensive library of over 40 bare-hull methods, including dimensional analysis and numerical methods. It can predict resistance for monohulls and catamarans, from slow-speed full ships to high-speed planning craft. It also accounts for added drag from appendages, wind, seas, and restricted waterways, as well as roughness effects.
· Hull-Propulsor Interaction: Analyzes the complex interactions between the hull and the propeller for both transit and towpull conditions, crucial for accurate performance prediction.
· Propulsion Analysis: Simulates the steady-state equilibrium of the propulsion system to determine efficiency and power demand. It supports various propulsor options like FPP, CPP, CRP, waterjets, and more.
· Propeller Sizing: Assists in determining optimal propeller characteristics such as diameter, pitch, blade area ratio, and reduction gear ratio.
· Speed-Power Prediction: The fundamental capability of NavCad, allowing users to quickly analyze vessel speed and power performance.
· Bollard Pull and Towing Analysis: Can simulate and predict bollard pull performance and towing capabilities.
· Acceleration Analysis: Determines the time-to-speed for a vessel, useful for understanding acceleration characteristics.
Advanced Features (Premium Edition Specific):
· EEXI Assessment Utility: This is a significant addition for 2023. It allows users to calculate an Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) score for a project, investigate how design options affect the score, and prepare an EEXI "Technical File" document. It uses a "Speed Power Curve" as the performance basis for calculations, following IMO MEPC guidelines. It can also utilize "Aligned Prediction" and "Aligned Series" for higher fidelity by calibrating predictions to comparable reference ships and propellers.
· Scripting (Macro) API: Provides batch processing capabilities, allowing users to automate tasks and create custom workflows. This scripting can be performed within the NavCad GUI or by external applications, enabling NavCad to function as a calculation engine or coupled solver.
· Duty-Cycle Operating Modes Analysis: This module predicts fuel consumption and key performance indicators (KPIs) for various user-defined operating modes (eg, transit, towing, idle). It allows for lifecycle evaluation of system performance and prediction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
· Wave-Theory Resistance Prediction: Implements a novel proprietary calculation of wave-making resistance using longitudinal distributions of sectional area, waterplane, and area centroid. This method has shown exceptional quality and behavior for a broad range of hull types.
· Analytical Distributed Volume Method (ADVM): Supplements hull form analysis with proprietary numerical calculations of wave-making resistance.
· Calculation Server Mode: Allows NavCad Premium to dynamically provide performance data to other applications (like CFD) in real-time, enhancing integration and optimization studies.
General Features and Versatility:
· Extensive Propulsor Options: Supports a wide range of propulsors including open, ducted, surface-piercing, and cycloidal propellers, waterjets, and considers shaft angle effects, added cupping, and face curvature.
· Multiple Drive Options: Accommodates various drive systems, including internal combustion engines and electric motors.
· Alignment to Real-World Data: Encourages users to employ existing assets such as model tests, sea trials, or CFD calculations to correlate and align predictions, ensuring high fidelity and cost-efficiency.
· Supplemental Analyses: Includes capabilities for hydroacoustics, sinkage and trim, synchronous pitching, barge train resistance, body-of-revolution submersibles and SWATH, and propeller CAD shape generation.
· User-Friendly Interface: Designed for efficient analysis from early-stage design through post-delivery trial evaluation.
· Vessel Type Support: Suitable for monohulls and catamarans across various operational regimes (displacement, semi-displacement, planning).
· Educational Licenses: Offers educational licenses for students and faculty.
· Floating Network License: Provides flexibility in license management.
NavCad Premium 2023.2 is a powerful and versatile tool for naval architects and marine engineers seeking to optimize vessel performance, ensure regulatory compliance (like EEXI), and make informed design decisions.
