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.

Meet Orca3D’s European reseller, NDAR, at EuroMaritime 2026 in Marseille. Visit Booth H61 from February 3–5 to connect with the NDAR team, learn more about Orca3D for Rhino, and discuss your naval architecture and marine design workflows.

We’re excited to announce the release of Orca3D Version 3.1.7, packed with powerful new features and performance improvements. Highlights include Conditional Flooding for more accurate compartment modeling, a new Curves of Form analysis for streamlined stability reports, and enhanced reporting options for better data control. Plus, several critical bug fixes ensure smoother operations. Upgrade today to unlock these exciting updates and take your marine design projects to the next level!
