FIVPRE: A Pre-Processor for the Concept Exploration Model Shop5,

Abstract

FIVPRE is an interactive pre-processor for SHOP5, the DREA Concept Exploration Model for conventional monohull frigates and destroyers. FIVPRE provides the user with a simple means to create and modify the input files for SHOP5. Prior knowledge of the format of these files is not required. Through a simple command language, FIVPRE can be used to define new or change existing values of SHOP5 input parameters from the terminal. FIVPRE also keeps records of the files it has created. This Technical Communication is a user's manual for FIVPRE, describing the FIVPRE commands and giving examples of terminal sessions. The appendices contain a brief description of SHOP5 input and program documentation of FIVPRE, including descriptions of all the procedures in FIVPRE. Keywords include: Pre-processor; SHOP5; FIVPRE; Naval architecture; Frigate; Destroyer; and Concept exploration model.
