Designing for the Extreme: How Zodiac Designed the H1100 Border Guard with Orca3D
How do you design an 11-meter RHIB capable of operating in Sea State 5, surviving Sea State 6, and self-righting after a capsize?
In this Orca3D Customer Spotlight, Zodiac Hurricane Technologies shares how they used Advanced Stability and integrated CAD workflows in Orca3D to engineer the H1100 Border Guard — a high-performance patrol and search-and-rescue vessel built for mission-critical operations. From digital righting simulations to real-world capsize testing, this project demonstrates how data-driven naval architecture reduces risk and builds confidence before launch.
