“…In addition to that, there needs to be continued effort on working with the evaluation tools to allow for many different hullforms to be created and evaluated in a more automated process. An immediate effort is to expand the modeling and simulation environment to include not only ASSET and RSDE but also the Smart Ship System Design (S3D) tool, which has been undergoing extensive development and upgrades to support this type of broad trade space exploration for the latest electric ship technologies [11] [12]. There is also ongoing effort in using templates to aid in design space exploration [10].…”

With the advent of new technologies for electric ships, there is a need for a robust methodology to quantitatively evaluate their impact on the performance of a ship, while accounting for the uncertain nature of their parameters. To that end, this paper gives an overview of the Technology Identification, Evaluation, and Selection, or TIES, methodology as applied a 10kton surface combatant. This case study highlights the ability of TIES to aid in a broad exploration of the design space, by giving designers key tools that allow them to show in a traceable manner the tradeoffs involved in infusing technologies and making other design choices, as well as which designs best meet different sets of Figures of Merit. This ultimately allows decision-makers to determine what technologies or design choices to invest in to yield a ship with the performance parameters that will best serve the needs of its stakeholders.

“…An example of changing the hullform was run using one variant of the HTS study [5]. Ten hullforms of various lengths and beams were created, and then the S3D system design was copied into the new hullforms and simulated, showing variation in such results as the weight, volume, electrical power used, and cooling required.…”

Modern design processes such as set-based design and TIES (Technology Identification, Evaluation and Selection) depend on the ability to explore a large design space rather than attempting to optimize a single design. In this paper, we investigate methods for expanding the design space that can be explored using the S3D (Smart Ship System Design) software environment. We then detail the most recent advancements in the templating process, with the goal of automated system assembly and evaluation using pre-designed system segments called templates.
