The Research On Ship3D Subdivision Design Technology

Main hull subdivision design is one of the important content of the overall design of the ship, being the basis of the layout design and cabin arrangement, it is also an important factor related to shipbreaking security. Subdivision main-tains division of the hull function area,ship tilting,stability, strength and water d-ynamic characteristics, etc. Main hull can be divided according to transverse, ho-rizontal a-nd vertical. The transverse divides compartments with the horizontal al-ong the direction of breadth so as to reduce the impact of the ship’s stability a-nd other properties caused by the free movement of goods. The horizontal devid-es compartments with the transverse along the direction of length so as to divide the different types of compartments and be sure that the ship has sufficient ho-rizontal and transverse strength and floating condition and stability after breaking and flooding. The vertical devides the hull and superstructure with inner bottom plating, continuous decks and superstructure deck so as to meet the ship safety, hull strength, the need of cargo and crew’s work and life and the equipment layout requirements.3d digital design is the important way to improve the design quality and efficiency, which has been caused the attention of the every enterprises and gradually become the development direction of design industry today. In the preliminary stage of ship design, we cannot fully ascertain its subdivision information, so we must optimize and improve the ship subdivision scheme frequently.3d digital subdivision not only Make the cabin layout visual displayed but also Changed the traditional subdivision which need to input a large number of discrete point in the design, so we can easily modify the design plan.In a nutshell,3D ship subdivision design(3D SDD) technology is kind of s-ubdivision design using the3d digitization method. This paper aims to explore the way of3D SDD technology and research on the key technology of3D SDD and the methods of secondary development using Solidworks. Eventually, finish the software that can truly applied to the ship design phase. The main works includes:building the user interface using VB language; programming the functi- on of ship subdivision, ship modeling and assembly, model display, the calculati-on of capacity factors, the ship section view, the generating and saving of the model file. Eventually, develop a system of3D SDD. The key technology inclu-des:cabin partition technology, cabin modeling technology, cabin assembly techn-ology, capacity factors calculation technology, modeling display technology and Access database technology.
