Learn how to build a complete parametric speed and power analysis workflow using Orca3D Grasshopper components. In this new 90-minute tutorial, we'll walk through everything from creating a hydrostatics model to performing Holtrop-Mennen resistance predictions, configuring design margins, calculating required propulsion power, and exporting results for further analysis. Whether you're looking to automate repetitive engineering tasks or explore computational design techniques in Rhino and Grasshopper, this tutorial provides practical, real-world guidance to help you get more from Orca3D.

Facheris Design partnered with Fibrafort to develop the 355 Explorer, a sleek 34-foot day boat combining modern styling with engineering precision. Using Orca3D’s hydrostatics, weight studies, and marine CFD tools, the team validated performance and stability early in the design process—streamlining production and ensuring the vessel met both domestic and international expectations.
