HydroComp NavCad 2026 – What’s New
New features for improved Vessel-Propulsor-Drive system simulation
Development in 2026 offers new technical features and workflow improvements.
We’ve just released HydroComp NavCad 2026, and this year’s update brings some exciting new capabilities for vessel–propulsor–drive system simulation. Our team has been focused on deeper accuracy, smoother workflows, and smarter tools for modern design challenges.
NavCad provides maritime designers with the necessary tools for the optimized selection of suitable propulsion system components. It is the premier hydrodynamic and propulsion system simulation tool, providing powerful systems engineering calculations for the performance of marine vehicles.
A few notable updates:
- ADVM (Premium)
- Smarter, higher‑order resistance prediction with refined wave‑making and improved viscous‑drag modeling…
- Interface Theme Update
- New control functions, smoother hull‑CAD import, and an updated visual theme…
