The National Shipbuilding Research Program: Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium Paper No. 14: SPADES as an Aid in Ship Design

Abstract

The use of computers has made a tremendous impact on the ship design and the ship building processes in recent years. Designers utilize special programs to optimize their design according to economic and performance requirements. for a certain type of vessel in a certain type of service. From this iterative process, the optimum parameters are obtained and the preliminary design carried out.
