A structured approach for a stable submarine
Due to the great complexity of modern submarines, the process of selecting a design philosophy requires iterative developments and comparison of multiple design strategies to assess technical and performance characteristics, cost implications and risks. To break down this process, Nevesbu has designed a tool which has been incorporated into the naval architectural software package (NAPA), developed by Napa Group. This tool, named SUBSIDE, assesses the performance of submarines in the early stages of the concept design as well as in the later stages of the design process.
