PropExpert V. 4.2 Released
HydroComp, Inc. released PropExpert version 4.2. — a software tool from HydroComp, Inc. for propeller sizing and selection. The response that a user gets after clicking the Build button on the Sizing page has been changed. Prop- Expert now searches harder to find a solution before returning with its warning and error messages. There will no longer be multiple messages (e.g., the best diameter is larger than the maximum) during the calculation. One general message at the conclusion of the Build will be shown only if the sizing encountered serious cavitation, an optimum diameter is larger than the maximum, or if a maximum speed could not be found. HydroComp is always improving PropExpert's speed prediction algorithms as new data is made available. This version includes an improved prediction for all vessels.
