"I used Orca3D to teach undergraduate naval architecture courses. Students use it in their first-year design course all the way up through senior capstone projects. We use it for advanced analysis, but I can also have a new student demo a hull and start a CFD run in about 20 minutes. It's great for student engagement right from the start."

"Beyond delivering an excellent product, Orca3D for me are the support guys behind it. Bruce and Larry have, for the last 8 years, have never disappointed and indeed, have gone out of their way to provide on time, and every time, incisive and in depth solutions. With their generous help and outreach, both my Masters and PhD degrees were buttressed and enhanced by extensive knowledge and responsiveness."

"Orca3D has been extremely useful to explore the complex and vast sector of CFD. As a researcher and lecturer at University of Lisbon it was really important to have rapid support from the dedicated and well experienced Orca3D team in discovering and further explore some features of this software in the field of resistance and propulsion of floating bodies."

Assistant Professor, University of Lisbon, Instituto Superior Técnico

"Orca3D has been very helpful for my senior capstone project, especially for running damaged stability analysis and documenting tank volumes. Orca3D and Rhino really go hand in hand with each other when designing ships and Orca3D does a great job of keeping things organized. Especially in my case of designing an unconventional dual-hull vessel, Orca3D made bulkhead placement and CFD analysis very straightforward."
