Multihull Designs in Maxsurf

This video demonstrates how to use Bentley's Maxsurf software to develop, analyze, and optimize your multihull vessel designs. Learn about: Generating surface models, including symmetry, asymmetry, bonding, and trimming. Predicting performance with resistance and motion analysis. Calculating hydrostatics and stability. Defining the primary hull structure. From high-speed catamaran ferries to offshore support vessels, semi-submersibles, and sailing catamarans, Maxsurf has been at the forefront of multihull design since the industry's early days in Australia. Our software, which operates from a single parametric 3D model, streamlines the entire design workflow, from concept to detailed design. Whether you are designing a high-speed ferry, offshore support vessel, semi-submersible, sailing catamaran, or SWATH, watch this complimentary webinar to discover how Maxsurf can help you achieve your design goals.
