BAR Technologies partnered with Princess Yachts to develop the R35, a new sport yacht combining an optimized hull with adjustable hydrofoils, aiming to bring racing-inspired engineering into the leisure marine segment. The project used Siemens NX software for parametric hull and foil geometry, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ software for computational fluid dynamics simulation, and Simcenter Nastran software for structural analysis. Neural network-based optimization techniques processed simulation data to evaluate hull performance across numerous design variations, while Teamcenter software supported data management between Princess Yachts and BAR Technologies. The adjustable foils aim to improve fuel efficiency alongside seakeeping, supporting a more sustainable approach to yacht design.
