Think you know Orca3D?
There’s a lot more beneath the surface.
Design and fair hulls. Analyze hydrostatics and stability. Predict speed and power. Track weight and cost. Evaluate complex stability conditions. Run high-fidelity Marine CFD. Orca3D brings powerful marine design and analysis tools together inside Rhino.
More than hull design.
Orca3D gives naval architects and marine engineers an integrated workflow for designing, analyzing and optimizing vessels without leaving Rhino.
Hull Design & Fairing
Create, modify, and fair hull geometry using tools developed specifically for marine designers.
Vessel Performance
Evaluate hydrostatics, basic stability, speed and power, weight, and cost throughout the design process.
Advanced Stability
Model compartments, tanks, fluid loads, free surfaces, load cases, and stability criteria.
Marine CFD
Study resistance, running attitude, free-surface behavior, pressure, wake, and flow.
Built for the vessels you design.
From tugboats and fireboats to patrol craft, autonomous vessels and high-speed workboats, Orca3D gives marine professionals practical tools to evaluate critical design decisions earlier.
Understand what’s inside the hull.
Orca3D Advanced Stability extends the design workflow into detailed compartmentation, tanks, fluid loads, free surfaces, load cases, and stability evaluation.
See how FARO Industrial used Orca3D to support the repowering of the EDITH FOSS, including vessel modeling, compartmentation, hydrostatics, and stability analysis.
