      <title>HULL FORM DEFINITION AND COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/395734</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper presents a general description of the computer-aided hull form definition system that is in use at the Maritime Research Institute (MARIN), the Netherlands. The system is also under further development as part of an integrated CAD system at MARIN. A new tool is also presented for the transformation of fast displacement rounded bilge hulls.]]></description>

      <title>DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW COMPUTER-AIDED SYSTEM FOR THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/401076</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper describes a computer-aided system called HOSDES, developed by MARIN (Netherlands) for the conceptual design of ships. The capabilities provided by HOSDES are outlined, and the support system software is discussed. For preliminary design purposes, HOSDES makes available programs for such tasks as the calculation of data related to stability, propulsion, seakeeping, maneuvering and resistance, as well as for subdivision and superstructure design.]]></description>

      <title>PRELIMINARY SHIP DESIGN USING THE HOSDES CAD SYSTEM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/402945</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper gives a description of HOSDES, a fully interactive computer-aided design system for the conceptual and preliminary design of ships, recently completed at Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN). The first part of the paper deals with the overall system architecture of HOSDES and the general software tools within the system.  The main part is devoted to the practical use of HOSDES, with special emphasis on the exploration of the possible design space to obtain the optimal starting point for the design. A description is also given of the means available within the system to further develop a design once the main variables (such as length, beam, draft, displacement, etc.) have been determined. To this end, use can be made of a special design-guidance system that constitutes a knowledge-based subsystem in HOSDES. The last part of the paper describes work planned for the further development of HOSDES, such as its linkage to the INTERGRAPH and CATIA drafting systems and the MAESTRO structural analysis and design program.]]></description>

      <title>NEW EXTENSIONS OF HOSDES AND MARDES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/409953</link>
      <description><![CDATA[HOSDES, a computer-aided ship design system for naval vessels, was developed earlier at MARIN (Maritime Research Institute Netherlands). A derivative called MARDES has now also been developed, intended for use in designing merchant vessels. The contents of both CAD packages are summarized, and some new features are discussed.]]></description>
