The goal of the HOLISHIP project is to implement a design synthesis process as an alternative to the traditional design spiral approach. This objective can be reached by integrating all ship design tools (hull form design, hydrodynamic assessment, structural design, machinery etc.) into a new design platform. The HOLISHIP platform shall take care of geometry modelling, providing the necessary data for each tool, exchange of data between the tools, the inter-dependencies of tool results and much more. The platform will also implement a holistic optimisation ramework, taking all relevant aspects of the respective design phase into account. In an early stage simple methods like regression formulae will be used, in later stages of the design process more sophisticated and accurate methods will be applied. The work packages of Cluster 1 (WP 1 to 6) have two purposes in the project. First, they must ensure that the tools are able to cover all practical requirements regarding the application in the design process. In HOLISHIP this means that the tools must be suitable to be used in the application case work packages of Cluster 3 (WP 9 to 17) . The Cluster 1 work packages will therefore carry out validation work and add missing features - where needed - to their tools. The second aspect is that the tools must be prepared to be integrated into the HOLISHIP Cluster 2 platforms (WP 7 and to some extent WP 8). The required input data and formats of output results must be well-defined and the tools must be capable to be executed without graphical user interface (often referred to as batch mode). While adding a batch mode to a numerical tool is usually not associated with a significant development effort, adapting or creating new file formats (which can be processed by the HOLISHIP platform) may prove a substantial task. The work carried out in WP 3 in this respect ensures that all related requirements and preconditions regarding the necessary hydrostatic-stability and hydrodynamic software tools in the HOLISHIP project are met and are ready for use with the commencement of the Application Case studies. |
