Abstract: |
The development of new design concepts
for ship bridges on modern offshore vessels is a considerable challenge for
engineering and design professions. Such ships perform advanced missions in
extreme environmental conditions that are very different to those in which
most design processes take place. Although site visits can help narrow this
gap, such opportunities are limited by both funding and access constraints.
We suggest the use of design simulators as tools for conceptual design,
mediating collaboration between various disciplines and users. This paper
reports on work in progress in which we analyse and
explore possibilities and challenges, regarding the use of a simulator for
the design of ship bridges, comparing the nature of conceptual design with the
current use and capabilities of existing maritime simulators. Through this
analysis, we suggest there is potential for combining training simulators
with tools and techniques from conceptual design processes in ship bridge
design. We also discuss some challenges regarding the effective use of
simulators as a design tool. |
