Abstract

There are many types of boat in boat manufacturing technology.To perform the hull design optimization,it involves selection of boat application,optimal algorithm, geometric description of ship hull surface,reliable CFD program,design variable and constrains.Among all these methods,reverse engineering involved scanning method offer better ways to obtain the boat design data.Scanning method requires high quality laser machine that capable to extract physical object and change the data into a CAD data.By converting the scanning data to CAD data, technical drawing of the boat can be produced.Any improvement on the boat design and performance can be performed by using boat technical data.At Brazen Composite,there is a 12 meter catamaran boat produced. However,the boat has no related technical data.The technical drawing is needed by the company to meet the requirement of the water transportation authority for permit application and also used for hull design improvement.There are several methods when doing a reverse engineering.It deals with converting the data, combining the data,redraw using surface design,redraw using subdivision surface and redraw using part design. This method will conduct to different result of hydrodynamic analysis of three model of the boat hull design which is Model A,Model B and Model C.However, through this project the Model C of boat hull design have a better improvement in design approach in order to reduce the drag force of the boat hull design.Instead of producing technical data,it also deals with basic ship hydrodynamic with the conditions of equilibrium and initial stability of floating bodies.
