Wave Crest
One of the features of the Professional version is its ability to calculate hydrostatic properties on a wave crest.
Scripting
Use scripting to automate tasks
The Pascal based scripting environment can be used to automate various tasks such as free form hull deformation, batch calculations, automated tank geometry building and more.
EXCLUSIVE TO DELFTSHIP PROFESSIONAL
Plate Development
Whether you design for full scale or model building- this feature allows you to not only analyse plate developments, but also to export the unfolded plates to AutoCAD (dxf), or to a plotter for further processing or immediate cutting.
