HYDROCOMP, INC. ANNOUNCES PROPEXPERT
ver. 4.2
|
HydroComp Inc., of Durham, NH
USA, is pleased to announce the release of PropExpert ver.4.2.
PropExpert is a software tool from HydroComp, Inc. for propeller
sizing and selection for workboats and pleasure craft. |
Reports and Graphs
The graphics of reports and graphs have been enhanced. A logo graphic
is now placed on the upper left corner of each page. Users can personalize
all reports by creating a logo graphic of their own and copying
it over the standard graphic in the program directory.
Build Response
The response that a user gets after clicking the Build button on
the Sizing page has been revised for greater efficiency. PropExpert
now searches harder to find a solution before returning any appropriate
warning or error messages.
There are no longer multiple
messages (e.g., "the best diameter is larger than the maximum)
during the calculation. One general message at the conclusion of
the Build will be shown only if the sizing encountered serious cavitation,
an optimum diameter is larger than the maximum, or if a maximum
speed could not be found.
Speed Prediction
HydroComp continuously improves PropExpert's speed prediction algorithms
as new data is made available.
PropExpert 4.2 includes an improved prediction for all vessel types.
HydroComp provide software
products and consultancy services for the performance analysis and
design of marine vehicles to industry, research and government clients.
Currently over 380 marine professionals in 41 countries worldwide
are using HydroComp software.
