Abstract: |
This paper
discusses how Product Life-cycle Management (PLM) tools can benefit the ship
design process. Primarily, the concept of PLM applied to ship design will be
decomposed in six key elements: database, modeling and simulation tools,
value chain processes, product hierarchy management, product management and
project management. Some of these elements rely heavily on the use Virtual
Prototyping to be achieved. The next step applies these concepts to the ship
value chain. This will be done through the development of a simplified scenario,
where it is discussed how a vessel can be conceived and designed using an
integrated design platform, applying PLM methods. Most of the information
previous to product finalization is obtained through simulation of virtual
models, using virtual prototype concepts. Our assumption is that combining
PLM techniques with virtual prototype concepts enables a good control over
the ship design project as a whole, through means of efficient modelling and simulation management. That way, the time
and cost necessary for the product development can be reduced. |
