Allows modeling and rendering of objects. With Rhino, you can create free-form
curves, surfaces and solids. Export models to .GF (Geometry File) format.
PROLINES is a hull development tool based on NURB surfaces. It also provides
analysis in the form of wave and friction drag (displacement mode),
hydrostatics and intact stability calculations. PROLINES exports numerous
cad file formats in addition to reading and exporting .gf1 (GHS) files.
The Baseline system includes hull design and fairing software as well as hull measurement services. Output is available in the form of GHS Geometry Files.
