Computational geometry is at the heart of much of MARIN’s day-to-day business, which includes the hull, appendages and propulsion design and optimization, to the milling of models and detailed CFD calculations. And computational geometry is also set to play a key role in longer-term research and development carried out by MARIN, its clients and partners. In 2012, MARIN started a new, long-term project to update and expand its geometry capabilities for hulls, appendages and propellers.
