RigEdge is the unique and innovative software enabling rig and yacht designers to rapidly define the rig dimensions. The robust analysis tools quickly evaluate the sail loads on the rig and calculate the rig deformation and relative loads. en RIG: spars, standing and running rigging Q SAILS: mainsail and genoa wind forces over the sailplan TO mast bend and luff sag BRIO compatible The RigEdge integrated analysis method is very accurate and includes: Comprehensive aerodynamic and structural analysis of sails to evaluate Cutting-edge technology to calculate mast bend, luff sag and rig loads User-friendly tools enabling rig designers to modify the initial design Graphical plots to make it easy the review of rig performance and compare alternative solutions under the sails loads design of optimal rigs. MAIN BENEFITS

Mast and rig design cover an important role in maximizing the performance of sailing yachts. Weight, shape and materials are the main aspects of the mast design. The design of optimal rigs should take into account realistic sail loads.
