A model for a simulation-based shipbuilding system in a shipyard manufacturing process

This paper is concerned with simulation-based approaches in the shipbuilding industry such as digital shipbuilding, simulation-based design (SBD), and a virtual shipyard. A simulation-based shipbuilding model based on the function model of ship design and the process model of ship manufacturing is suggested. For application and implementation of the proposed model, the process model for block erection processes is designed using IDEF0 and UML methodologies. In addition, an application is developed to evaluate the validity of simulation-based shipbuilding models. This application is called the virtual assembly simulation system for shipbuilding (VASSS), which can simulate crane operation and block erection in a virtual dock.
