As 3D modeling completes, production drawings and information are extracted and detailed to support complete construction of the vessel in a sequence and format best aligning with the build processes and work centers at shipyard.įor larger ships and more complex vessels, our 3D modeling is typically performed using a zonal approach that follows the module breaks, construction sequence, and other build strategy elements of the ship. Production Design develops the 3D product model based on the functional drawings, vendor furnished information, customer furnished information, and build strategy into a configuration optimized for construction. Our tools and processes yield functional design products that are readily verifiable for compliance with the specifications, class rules, regulatory standards, and other contractual requirements. Design decisions during Functional Design use an established tradeoff criteria aligned to the program’s objectives for performance, acquisition cost, and ownership cost. We follow a proven and systematic approach to Functional Design that entails the maturation of the vessel design to a comprehensive and consistent set of design products ready for customer, class, and regulatory approval. Generally, a Detail Design program comprises two key phases: Our efforts seek to maximize producibility and affordability while mitigating risk for procurement, planning, construction, test, delivery, and acceptance. G&C’s Detail Design & Construction solutions are highly tailorable to the needs of the program, shipbuilder, and end-customer.
Systems engineering requirements at the total ship level are also allocated to the system/subsystem level and to the component level.įollowing a systems engineering approach, emphasis is placed on performance characteristics, including:ĭetailed Architectural Design and Construction
The Gibbs & Cox feasibility design process is an expansion of the conceptual design phase and includes trade off evaluations, typically considering system/subsystem level development that are oriented towards platform-level optimization. Speed, power and endurance calculations.These efforts involve the complete early phase definition of the ship, including: Our team of naval architects and marine engineers adapts a set of top-level requirements into concept-level definitions to evaluate technical feasibility, cost and performance. The Gibbs & Cox concept design process involves the development of design alternatives based on client requirements.
