About SurfaceWorks
SurfaceWorks by AeroHydro is a freeform surface modeling software designed to integrate with SOLIDWORKS, enhancing it with robust surface editing capabilities ideal for industrial design. It enables associative modeling, allowing modifications in SOLIDWORKS sketches to automatically update dependent SurfaceWorks surfaces and vice versa. This bi-directional associativity supports complex designs where relationships among points, curves, and surfaces are maintained, allowing for seamless adjustments throughout the design process. Originally developed for marine design, SurfaceWorks is now utilized across various industries, including aeronautics and medical devices.

MultiSurf
MultiSurf is a sophisticated 3D design software by AeroHydro, Inc., tailored specifically for marine design applications. Used widely by naval architects and marine engineers, it allows precise modeling of complex boat, yacht, and ship structures through its extensive support for varied geometric shapes and surfaces. MultiSurf uses a "relational geometry" approach, meaning that changes to one part of a model will automatically adjust related parts, allowing for quick, iterative design refinements. This makes it particularly useful for creating hydrodynamic and structurally optimized designs.

Slide3
Locate critical failure surfaces and compute the correct factor of safety using a combination of global metaheuristic search methods and local surface-altering technology. With parallel processing added for both failure searching and FS computations, results can now be generated within minutes. Streamline your workflow and get more detailed insights by integrating 3D wireframes (representing surveyed topography, geological surfaces, modeled faults, etc.) directly into your 3D models. Constructing slope stability models is easier and faster than ever before. Import surfaces from geological modeling or mine planning software or use built-in surface construction methods using coordinates or borehole data. Choose to build surfaces from point cloud data or import block models from applications such as Leapfrog, Deswik, Datamine, and Vulcan.
