ModiYacht - CAD Tool for Yacht Hull Surface Design
Modi Yacht is a CAD tool which is developed
to perform parametric and adjective based modification of yacht hull
forms. Modi Yacht consists of three different modules: parametric-based
modeling, adjective-based modeling and hull hydrostatics.
Parametric-based modeling helps its user to perform instantaneous design
modification in their hull designs. User can create wide variety of
designs for yacht hull and can transform one type of hull to a complete
different type. For parametric modeling, Modi Yacht uses the combination
of traditional and custom made design parameters. It helps its user to
fully integrate with the design to modify both minor and major features
of yacht hull form such as, width (Beam), Depth, Length, Chine
positions, entrance angle, station concavities, etc. Adjective-based
modeling ability of ModiYacht enables the designers to create desired
number of designs based on the predefined adjective. User can select
single or multiple adjectives based hull forms. The generation of these
models is autonomous, user has to define N number of design and select
desired adjectives. This modeler performs uniform sampling in the
defined design space and automatically generate adjective based designs.
User can also calculate the hydrostatic results and form coefficients of
their modified designs.
