AHVPP/1
AHVPP/1 is a tool for predicting the performance of sailboats. In essence, it is a mathematical model of a sailing yacht. The program takes a yacht's hull offsets along with several other measurements, reduces them to a set of characteristic curves which are then used in formulas giving the surge and moments on the hull and sails as functions of boat speed, course angle, etc. When solving a particular case, the program adjusts boat speed, heel angle, sail trim, sail reefing, and (when doing an optimum downwind or upwind case) heading angle to obtain the equilibrium of all surge forces and rolling moments and simultaneous optimization of sail settings.
AHVPP/1 can be a powerful aid in the design process of new boats as well as in fine tuning boats that already exist.
AHVPP/1 is a generalized VPP, not designed to any "measurement rule". Specifically, it does not give IMS ratings and thus is not intended to replace the specialized USYRU IMS Velocity Prediction Program.

Cmarc
Cmarc is a inviscid fluid flow analysis code of the type known as a low-order panel method. It is an enhanced version of NASA's Pmarc-12, which is in turn a descendant of an early 1,000-panel version of Analytical Methods' VSAERO. Pmarc-12 and VSAERO took different evolutionary paths, but their common ancestry is apparent in the similarity between their respective input file formats and in the results that they produce. Low-order panel methods, in which the calculated coefficient of pressure for each panel is applied uniformly over the entire panel, have been shown to provide virtually the same level of accuracy as higher-order methods, in which pressure gradients are calculated within panels, so long as the meshing of the model is sufficiently dense, particularly in areas of rapidly changing pressure coefficient. With modern desktop computers, dense meshes of 5,000 or more panels for a half-model can be analyzed in minutes.
