Presentation images from checked AeroHydro portfolio design views.
Start with a checked MultiSurf or SurfaceWorks view. The page media shows general RENDERCAD product workflows, not AeroHydro software, native output, or a marine engineering result.
AeroHydro is a software portfolio rather than one modeling application. Its current products include MultiSurf 9.0 for relational surface modeling, SurfaceWorks 9.0 for similar work inside SOLIDWORKS, MultiSurf for WAMIT 9.0, and the separate Hydro 5.0.19 hydrostatics application. Flattener is licensed separately for developing surface patterns.
Use a clean profile when sheer, waterline, appendage placement, or deck relationships carry the discussion. A restrained three-quarter view is stronger when hull volume, superstructure, or a freeform industrial surface needs clearer depth.
Choose the correct AeroHydro product first. MultiSurf supports relational surface modeling, SurfaceWorks brings related methods into SOLIDWORKS, MultiSurf for WAMIT serves a specific WAMIT workflow, while Hydro and Flattener address separate calculation and pattern tasks.
Use RENDERCAD after the geometry view is approved to explore material character, waterside context, daylight, or a neutral presentation setting. Keep hydrostatics, stability interpretation, surface fairness, dimensions, and developed patterns in their specialist source workflows.
Open the current project in MultiSurf or SurfaceWorks and choose one communication goal. Frame a shaded profile or three-quarter view that makes the hull, deckhouse, appendage, foil, or freeform product surface easy to read.
Hide control points, construction curves, grids, axes, and unrelated assemblies. Keep a waterline, centerline, seam, or other reference only when it helps the review, then capture a crisp flat PNG or JPEG at useful resolution.
Request one presentation direction per pass and compare the result with the approved checkpoint. Reject silhouette changes, shifted openings, missing appendages, softened chines, invented seams, or lost details. Change the source design only when that approved design itself needs correction, then recapture.
The motion example uses general RENDERCAD product media, not AeroHydro. It interprets visible pixels without relational geometry, hydrostatic data, hidden surfaces, or dependable depth.
Mark a hull finish, deck surface, background, water area, or industrial material. The edit affects pixels, not curves, surfaces, hydrostatics, dimensions, or developed patterns.
Test one material, lighting, setting, or atmosphere choice per pass. Reject results that change the silhouette, waterline relationship, openings, appendages, chines, seams, edge positions, or visible proportions.
| Feature | RENDERCAD | AeroHydro software portfolio |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative image models | Relational surface modeling in MultiSurf and SurfaceWorks, plus separate specialist hydrostatics and pattern workflows |
| Output | Presentation images + optional generated video | Editable surface models, inspected design views, calculation results, and separately prepared pattern information |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Controlled by the selected viewport capture, drawing, export, or downstream presentation workflow |
| Image Speed | About 60 seconds | Shaded and wireframe viewing is interactive; the portfolio is not positioned as a current photoreal rendering suite |
| Optional motion | Generated image-to-video | The described AeroHydro workflow prepares still design views rather than generated presentation video |
| Scene Set Up | Flat PNG or JPEG + prompt | Relational curves and surfaces, component visibility, view orientation, display style, and useful marine references |
| Input | One PNG or JPEG | Product-specific project data with documented 3DA, DXF, and IGES exchange workflows |
| Hardware | Cloud processing | Product-dependent desktop software, including Windows-based Hydro 5.0.19 |
| Install | Web app | The appropriate installed AeroHydro product and any separately licensed tools required by the project |
| Cost | From $9/mo | Licensing varies by product; Flattener is separate from the main modeling applications |
A flat upload carries no relational dependencies, editable curves, surface definitions, dimensions, calculation state, hydrostatic result, hidden geometry, or pattern information.
Record the exact AeroHydro product and version, project revision, selected view, visible components, display style, plus every waterline, centerline, seam, or reference retained for review.

RENDERCAD™
Capture a PNG or JPEG with the silhouette, major seams, appendages, and selected references clear. Remove interface clutter and retain the editable source project.

No. AeroHydro is the portfolio name. Current offerings include MultiSurf 9.0, SurfaceWorks 9.0, MultiSurf for WAMIT 9.0, Hydro 5.0.19, and separately licensed Flattener.
Both center on relational surface modeling, but SurfaceWorks operates within SOLIDWORKS. Choose the one that matches the team's established design environment and downstream workflow.
No. Hydro handles specialist hydrostatics work, while Flattener supports developed surface patterns. RENDERCAD creates presentation imagery from an approved flat view rather than engineering results.
Use a profile for sheer and waterline relationships, or a restrained three-quarter view for volume and component depth. Pick the angle that explains one decision most clearly.
Retain a waterline, centerline, seam, or section reference only when it aids interpretation. Hide construction geometry, controls, grids, axes, and unrelated assemblies before capture.
Upload one flat PNG or JPEG. Keep 3DA wireframe data and any documented DXF or IGES exchange files in the established AeroHydro and downstream CAD workflow.
No. It sees only image pixels, not curve dependencies, surface definitions, dimensions, hidden components, hydrostatic values, or developed patterns. The source project retains technical authority.
Reject a changed silhouette, shifted opening, missing appendage, softened chine, invented seam, altered proportion, or obscured reference. Correct design issues in the source software before recapturing.
