Damen Shipyard, leading this market, collaborated to this study. Inparticular, the object case-study would ideally represent the flag-ship of the gamma for the shipyard, emphasizing and taking to extreme all this type of ship features. In addition, the vessel should provide storagefor spare parts and provisions, accommodations for extra-crew and staff but also have fully dedicated guestareas.This work discusses the aptitude of the packing approach of dealing with this particular ship design problem. The methodology developed by TU Delft can rapidly generate a large and diverse set of thousands ofdifferent feasible low detail ship designs. The dissertation is composed by two main parts: the first one isfocused on using this methodology to develop a diverse design space to explore various possibilities beforeconverging on a selected few to further define later in the thesis. The second part provides the elaboration ofthe most promising design picked up in the first phase.The packing-based ship description consists of five elements (objects, positioning space, overlap rules,design changes, packing process) representing the Ship Synthesis Model (SSM) that together enable the description and parametric variation of a ship during early stage design. By creating multiple feasible designsolutions, the task of the naval architect is focused on analyzing, evaluating and deciding rather than creatingdifferent options. Thus, it is proposed to study the feasibility of multiple different options and, by analyzingthe more relevant conflicts, it will be possible to drive the choice towards the most promising design. In thiswork are highlighted the design decisions undertaken by packing on the options modeled, comments andexplanations are given on the rationale that helped in cutting the design space represented by thousands ofdifferent design concepts. Consequently, it is illustrated how the down-selection from a multitude of optionsto only few solutions was carried out.The most promising design is improved through some of the steps typical of the ship design spiral withthe aim of satisfying the imposed design requirements. Several rounds of the ship design spiral are undergonebringing gradually to the final outcome. These successive steps led to the fulfillment of all the non-negotiablerequirements set in the design brief, successfully developing the 90 meter concept. The description of themain characteristics of the ultimate design closes the second phase of the thesis before conclusions and reflections on the overall project are discussed Subject Packing ApproachDesignYacht Support To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:a98a1bb6-a766-451a-954d-0da4021548f5 Part of collection Student theses Document type master thesis Rights © 2018 Luca Salvatori Files PDF report_01.pdf 20.98 MB Close viewer /islandora/object/uuid:a98a1bb6-a766-451a-954d-0da4021548f5/datastream/OBJ/view
