As input, IHDE uses the ASSET generated LEAPS model, a hullform developed in the stand-alone hullform utility, or hullform geometry/data that is manually populated using the LEAPS editor. IHDE performs both resistance esti- mation and seakeeping analysis. Resistance analysis results can be used as the ship?s resistance behavior in ASSET. e results of these analyses can be visualized and inter- rogated within IHDE. For resistance analysis, the user can view the drag curves, residuary res istance curves, wave pro les on the hull, and a 3D wave eld. For seakeeping analysis, the results can be viewed as a conventional 2D plot as well as a 3D polar plot format. e Ship Hull Characteristics Program? LEAPS (SHCP?L) performs intact and damaged stability analysis and provides 3D visualization of the results. SHCP-L enables the user to set up many design loading condi-tions. Hydrostatics, intact stability, and damage stability analysis can be performed for each condition. No model setup is required to start, because SHCP-L uses the LEAPS database as its native data format. erefore, SHCP-L uses LEAPS for all of its input, and writes all of its results back to LEAPS. Additional LEAPS applications are com- ing soon. e Early Manpower Assessment Tool (EMAT) estimates manpower require- ments based on preventative maintenance and watch standing requirements. EMAT populates manpower data back to LEAPS (and ASSET) when the estimation is com- plete. And the Intelligent Ship Arrangements uses the ASSET-generated LEAPS model as input and a prepopulated constraints database to generate a 3D compartment arrangement of an entire ship. The funding required to make this toolset possible has been provided by NAVSEA?s Cross Platform System Development program and the Department of Defense High Performance Computing O ce?s CREATE program.
