What's new in NavCad 12.00.0012
Jan 17, 2013
- Propeller lift forces - High-speed planing craft are influenced by lift from the propeller. The difficult calculation of the prediction of propeller lift force due to shaft angle (for both planing and propulsion analysis) is in development.
- Enhanced planing analysis - The planing analysis will include a new spray drag prediction, as well as estimation of propulsor lift force during resistance and trim prediction for conventional propellers, surface drives and waterjets.
- Updates to the NavCad interface - A table-oriented data entry.
- New file format - based on HydroComp's new common file standard.
- Advances in the Method Expert - derived from internal R&D projects.
- Contra-rotating propellers (CRP) - a simplified system model.
- New appendage module - extended data definition and drag prediction.
