Well, i for one am very grateful for this topic being aired, as i was unaware of the freeship software. this has come along at just the right time for me (see the "efficient electric boat" thread) as i was trying to optimise a small boat design.. As far as i know, freeship was continued to develop as delftship, only paid. in the meantime, someone took freeship source code and upgraded it into freeship plus, latest version being 3.4. i was wondering how different is it compared to delftship.. The problem using freeship is that it is not so accurate for small boats, the calculations are rounded and has zero value. what do i do to solve this problem is to design a boat 10 times bigger, so i’ll make a boat with a 6.5 m long, 1.3 m in breadth and 0.40 m draft, ie i’ll work on a boat on a scale 10 / 1..
Free!ship is an open source application that allows you to create a ship model by using a technique called surface modeling. if you have ever dreamed of designing your own boat you can start by. Freeship is developed to offer an alternative to hullform definition programs based on nurb surface modeling. most hull modeling packages use these parametric. The free edition of our software is packed with a lot of features, including basic hydrostatic calculations and various file export formats. it can be used to rapidly visualize your design concepts and is suitable for both personal or professional use..
