preamble a bit of history in Farin’s ”History of Curves and Surfaces in CAGD” it is stated : The earliest recorded use of curves in a manufacturing environment seems to go back to early AD Roman times, for the purpose of shipbuilding . A ship’s ribs were produced based on templates which could be reused many times. Thus a vessel’s basic geometry could be stored and did not have to be recreated every time. These techniques were perfected by the Venetians from the 13th to the 16th century. (NTUA/SDL - CAGD/CAD/VR Group) SAGA, Fall School 2010 October 5, 2010 2 / 26

preamble a bit of history The form of the ribs was defined in terms of tangent continuous circular arcs, NURBS in modern parlance. Ship hull was obtained by varying the ribs’ shapes along the keel, an early manifestation of today’s tensor product surface definitions . No drawings existed to define a ship hull; these became popular in England in the 1600s. (NTUA/SDL - CAGD/CAD/VR Group) SAGA, Fall School 2010 October 5, 2010 3 / 26

preamble a bit of history The classical spline, a wooden beam which is used to draw smooth curves, was probably invented then. The earliest available mention of a spline seems to be from 1752 by Monceau. This shipbuilding connection, described by Horst Nowacki (2000), was the earliest use of constructive geometry to define free-form shapes. More modern developments linking marine and CAGD techniques may be found in, e.g., Theilheimer and Starkweather (1961), Berger et al (1966), Mehlum and Sorenson (1971) and Rogers and Satterfield (1980).

CASD as a MOP basic elements of MOP in CASD design parameters: • ship’s main dimensions (length, beam, side depth, draft) or ratios between them, possibly extended to include the entire ship’s hull form → SHIP PARAMETRIC MODEL • the arrangement of spaces • (main) structural elements • networking elements (piping, electrical, etc) costs (criteria, merit functions, goals): • economic (profit of the initial investment) • performance (in calm water and in seaways) • safety • ships’s strength (including fatigue) (NTUA/SDL - CAGD/CAD/VR Group) SAGA, Fall School 2010 October 5, 2010 8 / 26
