Abstract:
Objectives Considering the high-level requirements of cooperative design ability, along with the fact that the working interface between general arrangement and aesthetic design of luxury cruise ships is unclear to a certain degree, this paper focuses on the constraints of general arrangement on the aesthetic design.
Method Based on regional deconstruction and an exploration of the parameter tree of influencing factors on the appearance design of luxury cruise ships, the main factors are selected, constraints in ship code conventions, ship safety and engineering design experience are analyzed, and the boundary conditions for the creativity of appearance design are obtained.
Results In terms of appearance and shape features such as the overall outline, visual envelope of the side view, and funnel, functional zones at the bow and the stern of ship, the constraint conditions of appearance design are confirmed through the relative dimensions of different parameters to avoid obstructing the free flow of creative work.
Conclusions The results of this study can provide significant references for exploring the cooperative mode between engineering design and appearance design, and improving the level of domestic innovative cruise ship design.
