Thesis Titles: Automation of a Preliminary Bulk Carrier General Arrangement

Abstract:
General arrangements developed in AutoCAD are the current marine industry standard for detailing the layout of a ship. However, editing these drawings can be time consuming. In the preliminary design phase, many design decisions and calculations can be made formulaically using regressions, logic, and class society rules. This thesis sought to create a design tool capable of generating a preliminary general arrangement for a bulk carrier given minimal ship parameter user inputs. This tool, written in Visual Basic for Applications in AutoCAD, allows the user to iterate easily through slightly varied parameters then edit the preferred result as desired.
