— SUMMARY
New problem-solving features that streamline your workflow. Two new plug-ins. And a new website.
This edition wraps up a long list of new features across Steeler, Piping, Drafting, HydroStab and Clipper, the release of Notilus Scantling and Notilus Composite, and the rebuild of notilussoftware.com.

DNV-RU-HSLC · RINA RES31 · ISO 12215
|
|
| |
|
Notilus Scantling is here — create and check everything right inside Rhino. Choose a member, and it calculates the required thickness and section modulus for you, per DNV-RU-HSLC, RINA RES31, and ISO 12215. Less time chasing rule references, more time designing. Try it free.

LAMINATES · BILL OF MATERIALS · ISO 12215
|
|
| |
|
Composite structure, engineered inside Rhinoceros. Assign laminates to Rhino surfaces, run stiffeners with capping and crown laminates, and read weight, centre of gravity, lamination schedules and a full bill of materials straight from the model.
Thickness, weight and stiffness aligned with class submission from the first draft — every ply, core and stiffener rolled into a bill of materials ready for procurement and lay-up planning. Try it free with a 15-day trial.
