Interactive Visiometrics for Ship Design


HPCD Project supported by ARPA


AVS Interface

We have developed an nteractive AVS visiometrics interface in 3D for the LAMP multiple model code: Visualization graphical interface consists of displays of 3D image of ship hull geometry, the time series of sea, heave, pitch and bending moment, pressure distribution and bending moment distribution coupled with animations of the motion of the ship and the sea. The user is able to interactively select windows in the time series to observe the animations of the ship motions in those time intervals. These displays are coupled to 3D phase space-time diagrams that provide insight on the nature of the solution of the differential equations governing the ship motions.

Ship Hull Geometry

AVS interactive interface for visualization of visualize the ship hull geometry in 3D.

Ship Motion

The animation of ship motion is coupled with the meters showing the instaneous magnitude of the variables of heave, pitch and bending moment with the ship motion.

Pressure Distribution

The pressure distribution on the hull surface of the ship is visualized with the motion of the ship. The color corresponds to the value of pressure. The user can also observe the highlighted pressure on the ship hull surface.

Bending Moment Distribution

The bending moment distribution on the hull surface of the ship is also being interactively visualized with AVS interface. The color on hull surface shows the distribution of the bending moment.


DAVID Interface

DAVID interface provide 2D interactive tools to visualize the variables of LAMP code output.
