FastShip
and FastYacht are exactly the same program, with 1 exception: the
number of surfaces that can be displayed on screen simultaneously
are unlimited for FastShip, 2 for FastYacht. |

FastShip
is being used by shipyards, navies, and design firms around the
world to give them a competitive advantage. Join them in being able
to design fair hulls quickly for conceptual studies, preliminary
designs, and final fairing for fabrication at a fraction of the
time and cost of other methods. FastShip has an open architecture
structure, so it will fit into your present computing and design
environment. With industry-standard interfaces such as IGES and
DXF, FastShip will complement any existing CAD system. Written by naval architects for naval architects, FastShip is learned easily, and it does not require full-time use to be a productive design tool. |
Our staff of naval architects provides expert support by telephone,
fax, email and on-site. FastShip has used surface mathematics for
ship design since its first release in 1983, and has been continually
updated and improved since then. Hundreds of vessels have been designed
and built using FastShip, using offsets, full-scale patterns, and
NC machined parts. Backed by the resources of a 1500 person technology
corporation, FastShip will remain the leading hull design program
into the next century. |

FastShip
uses NURBS surface mathematics to allow the designer to interactively
"sculpt" the hull on the screen. As control points are
moved with the mouse, the hull shape changes in real time on the
screen. Stations, buttocks, and waterlines are faired and drawn
dynamically, giving immediate feedback to the designer and yielding
unprecedented flexibility and productivity. Since hull-form changes
are made so easily, the user is free to explore more "what-if"
possibilities, thereby improving the design. Using specialized wizards, FastShip can automatically produce new hulls from a set of parameters, such as ship type, overall dimensions, displacement, LCB location, and form coefficients. These derived hulls can use parent hulls that are included in the system, or customer-created parent hulls. This gives the ability to customize the program to work with any existing library of hull forms. |
Hulls
are designed from scratch, or created by manually modifying existing
shapes from the FastShip library. Hulls designed by other means
can be re-created easily, by importing the offsets and "wrapping"
a surface around them, with display and editing tools optimized
to speed up the process, while of course ensuring fairness. FastShip is the only program available today that combines real-time lines manipulation with parametric design capabilities. |

“It
will take us a fraction of the time to fair a hull over our previous
methods, and it’s easy to learn.” Richard Buckheister,
Naval Architect, Avondale Industries, New Orleans, Louisiana “It’s a great conceptual design tool, that can produce detail-design quality data”. Jim Webster, Naval Architect, Gibbs & Cox, Inc., New York. |
“FastShip
can link with our Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) programs, and
allows us to generate, modify, analyze, and optimize a faired hull
form efficiently and easily.” W.S. Wang, Principal Engineer,
United Ship Design and Development Center, Taiwan, R.O.C. |
