Nemo for Ship Design has a new release

A new release of Nemo, a Grasshopper plugin for ship design, is shipping!

Nemo is divided into two major parts :

• Nemo Analysis, for automatic analysis of ship geometry (licensed)
• Nemo Designer, which includes several design tools (free)

Nemo Analysis can perform hydrostatics computation, silhouette extraction, meshing generation, and resistance prediction right inside Rhino. Sectioning hull into stations - buttocks - waterlines, generating an offset table, or creating cross-sections curves are also embedded features.

Interoperability is allowed with external software like NavCad (HydroComp), Mars 2000 (Bureau Veritas) or Excel (Microsoft).

Nemo Designer includes specific tools to create NACA sections and appendages such as hydrofoils, keels (with or without bulb), or even blade propellers.
