Enhance your
use of NavCad.
June in New
Hampshire - no snow! Join us for a 2-day NavCad Training Seminar
- Fundamentals of Resistance and Propulsion (with NavCad 2003) -
in Durham, New Hampshire on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 10th and
11th. The cost of the seminar is $795.00, with discounts available
for additional company members and those users that have paid their
2003 MSU subscription.
Course description
This professional development seminar will be in two parts, and
is suitable for all levels of experience with NavCad. All participants
will receive a course packet with the seminar curriculum, as well
as a variety of reports and resources.
We begin with a general discussion of fundamental
principles of resistance and propulsion, then build an understanding
of more advanced concepts (such as dynamic performance), and continue
on the second day with general training in using NavCad effectively
- including the newest features and capabilities of NavCad 2003.
At the conclusion of the seminar, there will be ample time for participants
to present and discuss some of their current projects.
Coffee/tea and lunch are provided each day.
Why attend?
Conducted by Don MacPherson, HydroComp's Technical Director, our
professional development seminars are an outstanding value. You
will leave with a solid understanding of the new NavCad 2003 and
its underlying hydrodynamic principles, and be better able to conduct
successful studies for your clients and customers. These two days
will help you not only minimize the risk of inaccurate speed and
power prediction, but you will learn how to analyze a project and
be in a position to provide reliable answers.

Schedule
The training seminar is over two days on June 10th and 11th, 9:00a
to 5:00p each day. The number of attendees for all HydroComp Training
Seminars is limited to insure personal attention. Call early to
reserve your place.
Location
The training is held at the Center for Ocean Engineering of the
University of New Hampshire. A map will be provided to all attendees.
Hotel
accommodations
Hotel accommodations should be made at the university's on-campus
facility - the "New England Center". It is about one-half
mile from the Ocean Engineering Center. Call (800)590-4334 or (603)862-2801,
and be sure to mention "HydroComp" when reserving your
room. Please visit the New England Center's website www.newenglandcenter.com
for more information on the facility. Courtesy shuttle bus service
will bring guests from the New England Center to the Center for
Ocean Engineering at 8:30a and return at 5:30p that evening. If
you need further assistance with travel arrangements, please contact
our office.
Prerequisites
Attendees will need only a basic knowledge of the operation of NavCad.
Some programming experience will be helpful, but not required. We
highly encourage every attendee to bring a notebook computer with
NavCad already installed. Also, don't forget your security key.
Cost
The cost of the seminar is $795.00, with discounts available for
additional company members and those users that have paid their
2003 MSU subscription. A 50% deposit is required before May 26th
to reserve your place, with the balance paid-in-full before the
seminar. (The deposit is non-refundable after May 26th.)
