Software makes Atlantic crossing to Seawork

Founded in 1984, HydroComp Inc provides naval architects and ship builders with resistance and propulsion analysis solutions. Their software and consultancy services provide designers, builders, operators, engine and propeller manufacturers, and government agencies with reliable and easy to use software programs for prediction and analysis of vessel speed and power performance.

“We have always been told by our software users that Seawork is a ‘must do’ show for HydroComp, said the company’s managing director Jill Aaron. “We look forward to introducing HydroComp and our software products to Seawork attendees. Everyone wants greater fuel efficiency these days, and our products can offer these savings to the workboat market”

HydroComp’s focus at Seawork will be providing demonstrations of their PropExpert software for the sizing and analysis of propellers for work boats and pleasure craft. It provides the tools needed for the proper selection of propulsion system components – engines, gear and propeller – and has been selected as the principal propeller sizing tool of many of the best known manufacturers of marine engines and propellers.

Of course, HydroComp’s other software packages will be available for demonstration and review, including NavCad (for resistance and powering), PropCad (propeller CAD), SwiftCraft (speed and power for small ships), and SwiftTrial (sea trial documentation and analysis). For the first time in the UK, the new PropElements software for detail propeller design and analysis will be shown as well.

HydroComp will be in the Small Business Enterprise Section, stand SB 31.
