Distance between the keel and bouyance center (KBt), which is related with the transversal stability.

Floating Area/Waterplane Area (WP), related with the ship waves generation, and thus with the ship resistance.

Longitudinal position of the bouyance center (XCB).

Moment to trim the ship 1 cm (MTC), of critical relevance at the time of planning load conditions.

Wetted area (WSA), heavily related with the ship dynamics.The hydrostatics are divided in 3 main groups: The most common hydrostatics can be easily computed with this tool. The transversal areas curve offers really valuable information in the first stages of a ship's design, as it gives an idea of the shape and volume distribution of the ship. This tool computes the area of each transversal section of the ship, plotting it and providing a spreadsheet with the very same results.

It currently offers the following tools: Areas curve FreeCAD-Ship is a free module for FreeCAD oriented to aid naval ship design by providing several tools commonly used in naval architecture, seakeeping and ship resistance.
