BOAT3D Planing Boat Simulation

For a given boat design, BOAT3D estimates the forces on a hard-chine planing boat using an added-mass analytical approach and predicts the motion of the boat. The boat moves with 3 degrees of freedom, lunge, heave, and pitch. BOAT3D lets you estimate the speed you will obtain from a particular design for a given engine/propeller thrust, the accelerations imposed on the boat occupants at a particular speed in a particular sea condition, and the amplitude of the heaving and pitching response to the sea.
