AUTOPOWER rovides naval architects and de- gners with resistance and power rediction methods for displace- lent, planing, semi-displacement nd catamaran vessels. It report- dly meets the day-to-day needs of esigners who deal with routine or xotic problems in resistance and ropulsion calculation. Up to five ifferent hull alternatives can be onsidered simultaneously, facili- ating comparative design studies md optimization. High-quality graphs and tables can be displayed on screen or printed for customized reports. The new Windows interface, ac- cording to Autoship, integrates all the necessary functions for resis- tance and power prediction into an easy-to-use and flexible process, tak- ing the designer from concept through final design in a few simple steps. All input variables are pre- sented in a Windows spreadsheet- like format, allowing easy modifica- tion to allow a wide range of para- metric studies. Fourteen different methods of re- sistance determination are used, all of which have been verified and tested using approved tank meth- ods and empirical studies. Propul- sion efficiencies are calculated ac- cording to the Wageningen B-series or Gawn-Burrill KCA series polyno- mials.
