Autohydro is a Windows based 'floating simulator' that reports the reaction of the model to various conditions, such as a loading configuration, a damage situation, conditions involving outside forces, wind or high speed turning momentum or some combination of these. One of the powers of the program is displaying the vessel's attitude graphically and in text on the screen. Report information can be shown on the screen, edited, printed, and saved in Autohydro's spreadsheet-like Report Editor.

New features for Autohydro 5 in 1999, include: 1) a fixed weight dialog with ability to define distributed weights, 2) user-definable report format, 3) capability to evaluate dynamic criteria, and 4) user control over position of section displayed in body view.

Other Autoship System users in United Arab Emirates includes, Atos International (Autoship, Autohydro and Autopower users) and Henderson International (Autoship, Autohydro, Autobuild and Autopower users) both located in Dubai.

New Features for Autoship Release 7 - hull design/surface modeling include: 1) editable trimmed surfaces, 2) rolling ball fillet function, allowing easy creation of smooth radius fillets between surfaces, 3) real-time hydrostatics, and 4) simultaneous multiple vertex control.
