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.

Discover how combining HydroComp’s NavCad® with Orca3D Marine CFD enhances the accuracy of vessel simulations. A real-world case study reveals how this hybrid approach delivers deeper insights into resistance, trim, and propeller forces—leading to smarter, more efficient designs.

Orca3D is excited to present research at the XI International Conference on Computational Methods in Marine Engineering. Co-authored by Orca3D’s Larry Leibman, this paper explores high-fidelity CFD simulations used to optimize the design and maneuvering of high-speed vessels, specifically the U.S. Coast Guard’s 47FT Motor Lifeboat. By leveraging advanced simulation techniques, including a new propeller force model, this research provides key insights into improving vessel performance and maneuverability. Join us at MARINE 2025 to learn more about the future of marine design.
