[en] This paper concerns structural optimisation within an holistic ship concept design platform. The main focus of the present research is to demonstrate an integrated workflow for automated rule-based structural design optimization process of a typical 2D midship of RoPax vessel which has been developed within the framework of EU HOLISHIP project (2016- 2020). To this end, a number of existing tools along with their new script/batch-mode developments (namely MARS2000® and STEEL® BV tools and modeFRONTIER®) as well as some new in-house tools/modules (e.g. Scantling-Spacing Updater) have been integrated under an automated iterative routine.
In the integrated optimization workflow developed, steel weight is considered to be the objective function to be minimized, and the constraints required by the relevant BV rules and by the shipyard are also taken into consideration.
Using the present approach- in an appropriate computing platform- a number of feasible optimized designs can be generated overnight.
