Through out this week, i was told by my supervisor to read more books related to marine field to gain more knowledge about shipbuilding. Therefore i referred to SHIP CONSTRUCTION by D J EYRES. This book thought me about the basic design of the ship, development of ship types, materails and strength of ships etc.
Besides, i was introduced to a ship design software, Maxsurf for hull design. Maxsurf provides fast, flexible and intuitive modelling of all types of hulls, superstructures and appendages. An unlimited number of trimmed NURB surfaces can be used to model any vessel from yachts to workboats to the largest ships.
The core of the Maxsurf range, the Maxsurf design module, provides the naval architect with the design tools necessary tocreate fair, optimized hull forms quickly, accurately and with limited training time. Any number of NURB surfaces can be joined, trimmed and manipulated to create a complete model ready for hydrostatic analysis or construction detailing.
A range of commands provide direct interactive manipulation of the surface shape by mouse or keyboard. Maxsurf provides automated transformation of the hull form to match desired dimensions and hydrostatic properties. Control points can be dragged with the mouse, adjusted numerically, or manipulated by a range of fairing commands.
I was able to modeling a simply ship hull by going through the tutorial provided by the software. I found out that it is challenging and interesting for me to learn more about it.
