This text provides a guide to computational geometry for ships. It takes into account recent progress in this field by adapting modern computational methodology to ship-geometric applications. Preliminary curve and surface techniques are included to educate engineers in the use of mathematical methods to assist in CAD and other design areas. In addition, the text provides a study of interpolation and approximation techniques, which is reinforced by direct application to ship curve design, ship curve fairing techniques and other related disciplines. The design, evaluation and production of...

This volume documents the ESPRIT project NEUTRABAS dealing with the development of a neutral database for large multifunctional systems, in particular for ships and their many complex systems.
