Pulse is a marine propeller dedicated server. It optimises hull performance by dimensionning propellers then supplies the tooling paths.Results take shapes of values, graphics and 3D VRML. If you are an industrial and Pulse meets any interest with you, we would be happy to contact you. It's final goal is to extend to aeronautical props and wind generators. If you are a naval architect, we have a solution for 20% gain in planning hull speed and are looking for an association.
How do I use Pulse?
If you want to see the 3d drawings, you will need to get a vrml browser. The average size of the vrml file generated is 180k (depending on propeller size and tooling pitch). Pulse is easy to use but before you should have a first look at the following tutorial folder. It explains how to use this server, without having to enter any data.
