Star Trek: The Next Generation U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D Blueprints. Created by Rick Sternbach, this publication contains a collection of large-format blueprints of the interior and exterior of the USS Enterprise -D. They catalog every deck of the ship, and also including exterior views and a side-view cutaway.
Turner Construction Co. Architectural style. Art Deco. NRHP reference No. 85003231 [1] Added to NRHP. 17 October 1985. The David Taylor Model Basin (DTMB) is one of the largest ship model basins —test facilities for the development of ship design—in the world. DTMB is a field activity of the Carderock Division of the Naval Surface Warfare ...
Sesam is a software suite for structural and hydrodynamic analysis of ships and offshore structures. [1] It is based on the displacement formulation of the Finite Element Method . The first version of Sesam was developed at NTH, now Norges Teknisk-Naturvitenskapelige Universitet ( NTNU Trondheim ), in the mid-1960s. [2]
From the mid-1930s Ough lived in a flat at 98 Charing Cross Road, London. He never married and there is much anecdotal evidence that he lived a frugal, even impoverished, [5] lifestyle in which model-making was a totally absorbing pursuit even to the extent of twice being hospitalised for failing to eat adequately due to concentration on his work.
Lofting. Lofting is a drafting technique to generate curved lines. It is used in plans for streamlined objects such as aircraft and boats. The lines may be drawn on wood and the wood then cut for advanced woodworking. The technique can be as simple as bending a flexible object, such as a long strip of thin wood or thin plastic so that it passes ...
Ship model basin. A ship model basin is a basin or tank used to carry out hydrodynamic tests with ship models, for the purpose of designing a new (full sized) ship, or refining the design of a ship to improve the ship's performance at sea. It can also refer to the organization (often a company) that owns and operates such a facility.
Newport News Shipbuilding used a full-scale three-dimensional product model developed in Dassault Systèmes CATIA V5 to design and plan the construction of the Gerald R. Ford class of aircraft carriers. [52] The CVN 78 class was designed to have better weapons movement paths, largely eliminating horizontal movements within the ship.
Ship models or model ships are scale models of ships. They can range in size from 1/6000 scale wargaming miniatures to large vessels capable of holding people. [1] Ship modeling is a craft as old as shipbuilding itself, stretching back to ancient times when water transport was first developed.
