ESTIMATION OF MAIN DIMENSIONS BY SOLVING SETS OF LINEAR EQUATIONS. PART 1

One of the last problems the naval architect has to solve in the preliminary design phase to create a maritime object, is to determine the final main dimensions and form, by which the design requirements, including constraints, are fulfilled. By assuming a linear connection between the constraints on the one hand and on the other hand the dimensions and form, the design point is found by the solving of sets of linear equations. The basics of the method used are described and two numerical examples are shown.
