Ship Arrangements in Early Stage Design: Tools and Methods By
DR. DAVID SINGER, PhD ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
Meeting to be held via webinar at 10:00 hours EST (duration approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes) The object of this presentation is to describe the various academic methodologies that enable designers to investigate general arrangements (GA) and distributed systems (DS) in early stage design. First CAD centric methods and tools such as the University of Michigan Intelligent Ship Arrangements tool and the Delft University Bin Packing Method will be presented. Then nontraditional Network Science tools and methods will be presented to demonstrate the value of alternative approaches to GA and DS design. In preliminary naval ship design, we need to move away from generating GA’s and DS’s that have greater detail and move towards methods that identify how early-stage GA’s and DS’s decisions will impact future outcomes. The goal is not to populate vessel models with more details. Instead, it should be to identify what details will significantly affect vessel design and performance. To achieve this goal, one would need to create realizations of GA’s and DS’s, but in a form that enables the generations of large ensembles of realizations in seconds as well as analyse these ensembles in novel ways. This can only be achieved within a Network Science framework.
