[PSUBS-MAILIST] CAD software

[JimToddPsub at aol.com]

Changing the thread title:
Scott,
 
I bought TurboCAD Pro Platinum 18 with two training  CDs.  
http://www.imsidesign.com/
It seems to be a great program with full volumetric and  parametric 
capabilities (important).  I think Steve McQueen uses it.   Besides all the 
features, I chose it because of the huge discount for  not being the very latest 
release.  A new release comes out at least once  per year.  The version 
updates are reasonable, but it's not at all  necessary to get each one as they're 
released.  I didn't buy  AutoCAD because of the high cost, however with the 
eligibility to get  the educational version that consideration might 
disappear.
 
I've just told all I know on the subject, so I'm going to  leave it to 
others to expound on it.
 
Jim

See the link. Orca is a marine  design program plug in for Rhino.

Scott Rhino is mostly a modeller for  nices shapes and surfaces - not a 
real CAD programm. 
Rinoi is nice if  you like to design something organic. Like the exterior 
of a  motoryacht.
For a submarine use a 2D or 3D Autocad, Megacad or simillar  or Inventor if 
you like to go 3D.   
I am not sure if  Rino can give figures like center of graphity, of 
bouanvy, weights, areas  and so on.

Scott,

For CAD I must of course recommend what  I use, Rhino3d with Flamingo NXT 
renderer. I have not seen nicer  renderings for marine designs than this 
combination can  produce.

As for inspiration, think "out of the box," look for  it in odd places. 
Bigger need not be necessarily better, but  "inspired," "imaginative."

Very true. I am still in the research phase and will put  together a full 
spreadsheet. I do the same thing when I build new  stores. It is possible to 
find the project is not feasable and move  on to the next idea too.
Thanks,
Scott Waters
