Abstract
This paper presents a novel, highly interactive genetic algorithm-based layout exploration and optimisation method for generating spatial configurations of ships in the early stages of the design process. The method draws upon the principles of design-driven architecturally centred ship design processes by enabling the naval architects to make important decisions in a hybrid design process. The method utilises a genetic algorithm-based optimisation tool to rapidly generate and evaluate a diverse set of general arrangement options. It is approached in stages where each stage comprises two steps (manual and automatic). The new genetic algorithm-based layout optimisation tool is demonstrated by being applied to an Offshore Patrol Vessel test case. The advantages and disadvantages of the proposed tool are discussed, as well as the current limitations of the overall approach and future work.
