Abstract
This paper describes the use of simulation based design (SBD) in common and how it can be applied to ship design. The benefits of SBD are presented as well as examples of tools. A software platform developed in EU project VRSHIPS for concurrent design using simulations is briefly presented. Another design platform developed at VTT “Simantics” utilises ontology relations and simplifies building of simulation processes. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) can be utilised in many ways in the product process. VR/AR visualisation has been developed at VTT to support design and assembly work. As an example, a system architecture for assisting assembly work by visual information superimposed on the physical assembly parts is described. Such AR methods are particularly well suited for complex, short manufacturing series which are typical in ship industry. Especially in the outfitting phase the need for guiding the worker with all available tools becomes increasingly important.
