Saltwater Engineering has purchased a full license of the NAPA software package.

This software package allows not only allows Saltwater Engineering to generate a detailed 3D model of any faired shape, but also allows the execution of detailed hydrostatic calcuations. The hydrostatic calculations cover everything from basic intact stability to detailed probalistic damaged stability calculations.

NAPA, the Naval Architectural PAckage, is a CAE system developed specifically for initial and basic ship design. Designed to cover the most demanding needs of naval architects and marine industry professionals, it is among the most comprehensive systems available yet completely integrated, encompassing all the applications needed from the first project sketches through hull design and fairing, basic structural design, performance predictions and statutory calculations to the final delivery documents.
