Determine HOW FAST YOUR BOAT WILL GO!  With fantastic accuracy, extensive flexibility for any hull design, for any size boat, any weight, any power, any configuration. TBDP©/VBDP© software for Performance Analysis makes it easy!

Performance Analysis Report Wizard provides a unique design-based summary of key performance characteristics, including highlighting of important performance & design features and setup situations that may benefit from consideration or correction. This is a unique Report for your design that can be over 3000+ words of performance wisdom! [click to see Performance Report sample]

Performance Analysis Optimization - 4 options for Optimizing methods of performance analysis - get full performance data,  data points, for chosen analysis methods:

1) 'Max Velocity' or 'Test Velocity'- with 'Optimize=Velocity' analysis will calculate Maximum Limiting Velocity and all related performance results; OR can generate performance results any desired Velocity.

2) Trim Angles with Full Power, - with 'Optimize=Angle' analysis will evaluate all performance characteristics through the full range of specified Velocities. The minimum Angle of Attack based on the specified (Maximum) Power available will be determined for each velocity. This method is very helpful for comparing designs/features under equal conditions.  

3) Economy with Lowest Power & Lowest Trim Angle; 'Optimize=Economy' analysis completes a series of performance checks, to find the lowest Power and the lowest Trim Angle (WAngle) required to satisfy the setup at each velocity step through the operating range. Realistic prediction of normal operator controls under conditions.

4) Power Required for specified Trim Angles; 'Optimize=Power' mode is used for easy investigation of how much Power is required through the velocity range, based on a specified trim angles. Performance analysis includes all plus acceleration and elapsed time through the velocity range, and all the other performance and dynamic stability analysis results. Helpful for cases where you desire to set fixed trim angles, required power is calculated (and all other performance measures, of course).

Easy Auto 1-2-3 Analysis for highly accurate performance prediction of your boat. Auto 1-2-3 steps you through performance analysis for max velocity, required trim angle settings and power analysis for acceleration/elapsed times. [VIDEO - click here for "Auto 123 Performance Analysis video]

There is LOT's more Reports, and recommendations available with the click of your mouse; and there is a myriad of design modifications that you can make to compare your boats performance 'before and after' each design change or feature adjustment - see what is going to work best for your hull and setup BEFORE you have to make costly, time-consuming, permanent changes to your actual boat.

And there is still the 'Power' Analysis feature that gives all the performance data points PLUS Acceleration curves and Elapsed Time maps.

And see it all in Comparative Graphic Trend Charts, or detailed data Reports, or Printed Performance Reports.
