Naval Architecture: From Theory to practice

The complexity of projecting and designing a ship requires a work sequence that covers at least three main areas: (1) Concept engineering; (2) Basic engineering; (3) Detail engineering. This paper explains the design transition that exists (or should exist) between concept engineering and the final product, emphasizing the existing contractual relationship with the shipbuilder, especially in the initial definition of the project and the influence on construction aspects.

The Modeling Of A Conceptual Engineering Design System Using The Decision-Matrix Logic

Decision making a concept the optimal inside a concept engineering design (CED) is a job repeated. Decision matrix based method is the most popular concept selection approach used in engineering design. A matrix is an array that presents an axis of the alternate list being evaluated. The list of weighted criteria depends upon the importance of each of the final decisions to be taken. The decision matrix in this determined some weights and the rank as attributes to evaluate a total scores. Upon the weighting sometimes make the designer confusedly in determine variety. This paper described a decision making computer based, where a logic matrix decisions on a basis in the selection and evaluation. This model presents a logical procedure for concept evaluation considering the specified attribute. In decision-making this model is integrated and intended to improve the ability of beginners in designing.
