The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium. Paper No. 9: SHIPDS-SHIPLO: A Two-Phase Programming System for the Design of Surfaces in Shipbuilding (The National Shipbuilding Research Program)

Abstract

Several types of surface interpolation techniques exist which are defined over triangular or rectangular surface patches. They all have proven their usefulness in Computer Aided Design. This paper describes a first approach to a programming system that combines triangular and rectangular interpolation methods and applies them to a typical design problem in shipbuilding, the representation Of a ship hull. The system is designed such that it requires only those data which are available from a common shiplines graph and produces the output in the most general form, i.e. as a set of points (X,Y,Z(X,Y)) for the single patches. This output will then be processed in a post-processor fashion by some particular graphical or production device.
