use this to make decisions?

Design Methods Prof. Stein Ove Erikstad

Semisub example

High Variable Deck Load (VDL): The main purpose of the


vessel is to provide a working area for drilling operations. To
perform the drilling operation a number of consumables are
needed, e.g. drill pipes, drilling mud, fuel, water supplies. A high
VDL is advantageous because the time interval for supplies can be
longer.

Large deck area: A large deck area will provide space for
storage of consumables and equipment, and working space.
Alternatively, the deck area can be handled as a user requirement,
and hence be modeled as a constraint.

Low construction costs: the construction costs of the vessel


is difficult to model. A common approach is to approximate these
costs as a linear function of the vessels Light Weight (LW) (steel +
machinery + outfit weight). Since the Machinery and outfit
weights are assumed fixed, the cost will be a function of the steel
weight only.

High availability: in order to carry out the drilling operation,


the motion of the deck area must be within certain range. Within
this range, the motions of the platform can be compensated for by
the use of a heave compensator. Outside this range, the drilling
operation must be stopped, and eventually the vessel must be deballasted to survival draft.
The two main governing factors of the availability will be the
motion characteristics of the vessel, and the airgap between the
water surface and the platform deck.

Design Methods Prof. Stein Ove Erikstad

Representational spaces

the design space, capturing the description of the design object.


The ultimate goal of the design process
the performance space, holding the functional interpretation of the
design object, that is, objective measures of performance
usually derived from design analysis
the goal space, representing the intentions and requirements of
the designer, and gives the design process a direction towards
purposeful solutions. The goal space contains modal design
relations instead of factual statements (e.g. Ship has length 50
m) , the relation is modified to express statements about
requirements and expectations about the design object (e.g. Ship
should have capacity 3000 TEU, Ship must have B < 32.2 m)
the value space, holding an interpretation of the design object
with respect to subjective measures of performance, based on
the synthesis of the functional interpretation and the design goals

Based on the evaluation of
the design performance vs.
goals, requirements...
... the current design solution
is either selected, or a new

Why?
The PURPOSE has been to identify
the main BUILDING BLOCKS in
the design PROCESS
These are found in most design
processes, though their sequence
and relations may vary

this semester

Basic inference processes

Design Methods Prof. Stein Ove Erikstad

Inference processes in
design: Deduction
I = 1(Ki, D)

(2.1)

Ki:

x DW(x) V(x) Resistance(x) = f(DW(x), V(x))

D:

DW(ShipA) = 200.000 V(ShipA) = 15

I:

Resistance(ShipA) = 1200

E.g. design analysis

28
Design Methods Prof. Stein Ove Erikstad

Inference processes in design:

Generating designs

D = 3(Ks,V) (2.3)

E.g. systematic parameter


variation

29
Design Methods Prof. Stein Ove Erikstad

Inference processes in design:

Deriving design descriptions

D = 2(Ki, I) (2.2)
Ki:

x DW(x) V(x) Resistance(x) = f(DW(x), V(x))

I:

Resistance(ShipA) = 1200

D:

DW(ShipA) = 200.000 V(ShipA) = 15

E.g. linear optimisation,


simplex from outside the
system
30
Design Methods Prof. Stein Ove Erikstad

Inference processes in design:

Acquiring design knowledge


Ki = 5({D1, I1}, {D2, I2}, ...)
D1, I1: DW(ShipA) = 200.000 V(ShipA) = 15, Resistance(ShipA) = 1200
D2, I2: DW(ShipB) = 212.000 V(ShipB) = 14.8, Resistance(ShipB) = 1240
D3, I3:
Ki:

x DW(x) V(x) Resistance(x) = f(DW(x), V(x))

D1:

V(ShipA) = 15.0 IsType(ShipA, TypeX)

D2:

V(ShipB) = 14.8 IsType(ShipB, TypeX)

D3:

Ks:

x IsType(x, TypeX) V(x) isTypically around 15 knots

E.g. towing tank
