HydroComp PropElements 2023 is a software tool for propeller design and performance analysis in wake flow! A comprehensive and professional tool that enables optimized propeller design and evaluation in less time, thereby achieving ship mission objectives faster and more effectively! No longer waste significant human and material resources searching for the optimal design solution. The propeller design process includes several stages: determining key system characteristics, optimizing the radial distribution of blade shapes, conducting advanced CFD and FEA analyses, validating through model testing, and developing CAD geometry for the propeller!
HydroComp PropElements provides an optimizing design stage between parametric specification and full 3D design for manufacture. It builds on the system specification of necessary propeller characteristics (such as those from NavCad) to the design or evaluate a propeller in greater detail to meet the ship mission objectives.
Many large, merchant ships utilize custom propellers and more smaller ships, yachts, and workboats also appreciate the benefits of a custom propeller. Naval architects now have a new set of technical challenges to ensure acceptable performance and compliance with design requirements. To fully take advantage of the benefits that custom or semi-custom propellers make available – or to evaluate them in service – naval architects must look to a different kind of propeller calculation. Extensive validation studies for PropElements confirm it is unmatched in calculation fidelity and workflow efficiency
