Descriptions
PropElements Product of Hydrocomp Provides an optimizing design phase between parametric specification and full 3D design for manufacturing. It builds on the system specification of the necessary propeller properties (e.g. those from NavCad) to design or evaluate a propeller in more detail to meet the ship’s mission objectives. Many large commercial vessels use custom propellers, and smaller vessels, yachts and workboats also appreciate the benefits of a custom propeller. Naval architects now face new engineering challenges to ensure acceptable performance and compliance with design requirements. To fully exploit the benefits offered by custom or semi-custom propellers – or to evaluate them in service – naval architects must consider a different way of calculating propellers. Extensive validation studies for PropElements confirm that it is unmatched in terms of calculation accuracy and workflow efficiency. PropElements from HydroComp provides a specialist tool to the wider engineering community. PropElements is not only aimed at propeller specialists and manufacturers, but also at naval architects and vehicle designers.
