摘要：To better guide the coating process of rectangular tiles on a ship hull, a computerized three-dimensional design method is proposed. Research was done on a tile generating algorithm, tile laying design flow, tiles gap examination algorithm, and tiles slight displacement, as well as cutting and rotating algorithms.A three-dimensional design system was developed using an MDT platform. The application of this system indicates that using the design arrangement to coat tiles on a ship’s hull can result in enhanced coating quality.

摘要：A new 3D layout algorithm to lay rectangular tiles on the 3D hull surface model is proposed to improve the algorithm performance in accelerating layout process and enhancing design accuracy. Three times optimizations are carried out upon the original basic algorithm, namely optimization of calculating range, separation of surface flattening computation from laying computation, and optimization of interior point distribution. By testing, the generated surface layout drawing by the refined system is fairly applicable to guide the actual tiles＇ coating process.
