The Holtrop analysis used in Orca is not CFD - Computational Fluid Mechanics. Unlike CFD the Holtrop method does not solve any 3D equations and...
It is a very broad question and the scope of the responses may be different depending on who is asking and how the responses will be used.
What is the reason for your question? How will the results be used? Are you a journalist? Student? Academic researcher? ???
Based on the illustration in the original post, RSD is asking about rendering a 3D model. For such renderings first the 3D model needs to be...
For the large boat also consider purchasing a used boat with a hull in good condition, and then doing a rebuild as you desire.
