Abstract
The design space of power plants of naval surface vessels is ever expanding. As a result, the design space has become too large for a human design team to fully explore. Therefore, a concept exploration tool is introduced to generate and evaluate all possible concepts within the design space. An optimal solution is chosen based on ship characteristics and client preferences. This tool helps designers find the optimal solution and visualises the design space to enable a less constrained design methodology.
