The National Shipbuilding Research Program. 1997 Ship Production Symposium. Paper No. 5: Simulation and Visualization Opportunities in the Ship Production and Maritime Environment

Abstract

This paper provides an introduction to the application of commercial off the shelf (COTS) and PC based simulation and visualization software in the ship production and maritime environment. It is intended to assist the shipyard manager, production engineer, naval architect and marine engineer in identifying simulation and visualization opportunities in the areas of production, project management, training, design, and port evaluation for vessel loading/unloading times. the desired features of simulation and visualization software for maritime applications are discussed, and a sample listing of both maritime and non-maritime simulation efforts is provided. In addition to this general discussion, two projects which utilize these technologies are described.
