Is there a software to analyse the polars of a boat?

Hi everyone,
I have a question which maybe a bit tricky. I ahve noticed on the Imoca that sometimes the polars will allow you travel faster at low wind vs higher wind and the then reverses at much higher wind.
example of that:
TWA50 @ 12.4 knots = 10.83
TWA50 @ 14.4 knots = 10.67
TWA50 @ 15.4 knots = 10.67
TAW50 @ 16.4 knots = 10.77
basically you need 17.4 knots of wind in order to travel faster than at the lower winds. Which leads me to a question. Aside from going through the polar chart and look for these interesting variations, is there a software or a method to analyse these polars in a format which allows me to identify these faster?
Thank you
