The National Shipbuilding Reseearch Program. Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium. Paper No. 11: HULSTRUX - A CASDAC Computer Aid for Hull Structural Contract Design

Abstract

This paper is a status report on the development of a computer aided design tool for representing and displaying ship structure. Program Hull Structure (HULSTRX) is being developed for the Navy's (NAVSEA) Surface Ship Structures Branch as a part of the Navy's Computer Aided Design and Construction (CASDAC) project. HULSTRX will aid the Navy primarily during the contract design phase of ship design, which is referred to as level III in the CASDAC project. However, it is expected that HULSTRX will also prove useful to structural designers during preliminary and detailed design studies.
