Computerized three-dimensional design system for rectangular tile coating on hull surface

Abstract

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.
