The Maxsurf suites of software offer a comprehensive range of capabilities for the design of all types of
marine vessels. The technology has been used for more than 20 years on thousands of vessels worldwide,
providing naval architects with a complete range of software tools for all phases of the design process.
Maxsurf includes tools for hull modeling, stability, motions and resistance prediction, structural modeling, structural
analysis, and export to vessel detailing. Maxsurf software applications operate from a single parametric 3D model
that facilitates smooth communication and coordination between different team members and design activities.
