Abstract:

Abstract Marine vessels are a combination of exterior styling and interior design. Styling arrangements create spaces by way of external form and also influence external form by compartmentalizing interior spaces and layout. The design works its way from the inside out as well as from the outside in. Interior design layouts are based on the positions of masses and spaces on the outside. Exterior styling is dictated by the characteristics of specific typologies to be implemented. This paper proposes a model for sailing yachts that includes exterior styling and interior design layouts based on parameters. Most of the yacht geometry software has a three-dimensional view of the boat and shows it from in different angles on the screen. This software allows the form to be perceived in a better way compared to a hand-drawn design plane. The computer-aided software used in yacht design is especially useful for engineering calculations. There is no piece of software that automatically renders a digital deck and superstructure model. At this stage, the designer uses various add-ons to design the hull. There is a need for easily making changes on a rough model that will afford flexibility for the designer. When this model is created, it must include elements of the yacht typology of the design. Parameters to be used in parametric sailing yacht design are identified. A model can be developed by establishing the relationship between these parameters. The design process begins when the yacht hull model is imported into the program and modifications made on the model are simultaneously previewed as the variables are changed.
