Description
Autohydro is a complete hydrostatics and stability calculations program for naval architects, ship designers and marine engineers:
- Autohydro is a true “floating simulator” – it calculates the reaction of a vessel model to specified conditions, which can include loading configuration, damage, wind, and high speed turning momentum.
- Vessel attitude is displayed both graphically and in text on the screen.
- Graphical and printed reports can be displayed, edited, printed, saved, or exported to other Windows applications.
- Autohydro can also be used to obtain hull form characteristics and capacities.
