Relax

SailMaker's Relax II Interface allows designers to export their designs into the Relax II finite element stress analysis and aerodynamic package.

Finite element analysis enables the sail designer to accurately investigate what the designed shape will be like in a variety of wind strengths. By linking to Relax II, SailMaker users can optimise sail shapes and ensure correct fabric selection and orientation.

Relax II can eliminate expensive mistakes and reduce the time consuming tweaking of existing sails.

Relax II is made by Peter Heppel. There is also a Relax Bureau Service offered by Sandy Goodall.
