Study On Application Of The Technology Of Computer Software Interface In Integrated Ship Design Software

As the rapid development and increasingly wider use of the technology ofcomputer software, more and more ship design and manufacturing applications areused in the shipbuilding industry. But most of the software is limited in small area,there is no integrated system and platform which can be used all the period of shipdesign. The technology of computer software interface in integrated ship designsoftware integrates different applications in one platform. It can reduce theredundant work for ship designer and plays a very significant meaning to improvethe design efficiency.Based on the analysis of the database and secondary development language ofthe integrated ship design software NAPA, TRIBON in Knowledge-basedShip-design Hyper-Integrated Platform, and the method of call of hybridprogramming between C#and secondary development language, we have developeda series of software interface in KSHIP for the software NAPA and TRIBON. Due tothe interface, the integration of NAPA and TRIBON in Knowledge-basedShip-design Hyper-Integrated Platform is accomplished. By the test of the interface,the functions of all the developed software interface are approved.
