For many second-hand and older vessels, critical hull data—such as Hull Models, Lines Plans, or Offsets—is often unavailable, making precise structural assessments challenging. Although laser scanning offers one solution, it can be prohibitively expensive and may not always yield smooth, consistent surfaces due to natural undulations in the hull.

At GMCG, we’ve developed a streamlined, cost-effective approach to reverse engineering hull models without relying on costly scans. Leveraging available resources, such as General Arrangement drawings and Stability Booklets, GMCG reconstructs the vessel’s hull model precisely and affordably.

Our process begins by importing reference materials into specialized CAD software, where our engineers create structured reference planes and cross-sections outlining the vessel’s essential dimensions. GMCG employs precise alignment techniques, such as symmetry and advanced cross-sectional modeling, to achieve a cohesive, watertight 3D model that accurately represents the hull’s form.

To ensure optimal precision, each model is meticulously refined and validated against hydrostatic properties. The result is a high-quality hull model that meets rigorous standards, ready for advanced analysis, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), supporting both performance and cost efficiency.

GMCG’s reverse engineering solutions provide clients with reliable, precise hull data at a fraction of traditional costs, setting a new standard in vessel optimization.
