Freeship is a free utility that will allow you to design yachts, boats, ships and many other watercraft. This application is widely used in many institutes that teach shipbuilding, as well as by ordinary lovers of the water element and everything related to it. Given that the program is absolutely free, it boasts a good functionality, which will be enough even for some professionals. It allows you to fully calculate all the main characteristics of the ship in automatic mode (without human participation), and also allows you to create concepts using the NIRBS method. Now we will talk in more detail about all the basic tools and options of this software solution.

Functionality

Once you start using this application, you will be able to create a theoretical drawing as well as a hull concept for your future vessel. All these processes are carried out in a very convenient, specially designed for these purposes, environment. In addition, the entire interface and commands are qualitatively localized in Russian. If desired, the application can provide you with several workspaces that will be simultaneously displayed on your screen. There are special toolbars, they contain everything you need to perform basic calculations of characteristics. In general, the calculations are quite a lot and all are performed by Freeship as accurately as possible. The main characteristics that can be calculated automatically include: buoyancy, derivative torque, towing resistance, hydrodynamics, statics, propulsion power, and much more. Some indicators can be calculated in different ways. The application allows you to create a full-fledged passport chart, as well as transfer all the basic data to a file of your choice.

Technical Features

Considering that Freeship is not the latest freeware, it is virtually bug-free and runs on all current versions of the Windows operating system. It is not demanding on both hardware and software, so there should be no problems with installation and use.
