National Shipbuilding Research Program, Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Sympsoium. Paper No. 8: The U.S. Navy CAD/CAM Program Hull Structure (HULSTRX).

摘要

This paper is a status report on the development of HULSTRX and its integration into the Navy CAD/CAM Program; it presents the implementation of the system outlined by S. Klomparens at the 1979 meeting of REAPS. The HULSTRX Program effort is aimed at the development of a ship data base containing the locations and scantlings of all hull structural members based upon an established description of the internal and external hull geometry. The data base to be generated will be used for three purposes: (a) development of structural contract design guidance drawings; (b) dissemination of pertinent structural information to other areas of ship design such as arrangement developments, weight estimation and distributive systems backgrounds and composites; and (c) as an aid for the development of structural details, fabrication drawings, and generation of N/C data.
