Surface Models
RhinoMarine is very flexible in the types of models that it can handle, including very rough preliminary models up to extremely detailed production models. There is no need to waste time creating mirrored, perfectly sealed and joined models. RhinoMarine is perfectly happy to work with half models, multiple surface models (even when they are not joined perfectly), and even hulls that don't have decks and transoms.
The image below shows a simple hard-chined hull, with no deck and no transom. This hull would be suitable for hydrostatics, and stability calculations up to the heel angle where the deck edge becomes submerged. RhinoMarine assumes that the transom is closed off directly over to the centerplane.
In the following model, a propeller tunnel and bow thruster have been added to the model. RhinoMarine automatically handles these features.
