    This document provides an introduction to the NAPA naval architecture software. It describes NAPA's capabilities for designing floating structures using a 3D ship model approach. It outlines NAPA's subsystems for ship design functions and internal system functions. It also describes how to start a new NAPA session, create a new project, use the text editor and geometry window, and design a ship hull using curves and surfaces. The hull surface editor is introduced as a tool for modifying and fairing hull surfaces.

    NAPA is a naval architectural software that can be used to design ships and floating structures. It contains various application and auxiliary subsystems to perform calculations and tasks related to ship design.

    The main application subsystems are Ship Model (SM), Geometry (GM), Hydrostatics (HD), etc. The main auxiliary subsystems are Database Management (DB), Dynamic Memory Management (DM), Graphics (GR), etc.

    To start a new NAPA session, click on the NAPA icon and enter the user ID and password. To start a new project, go to File > Create New Project from the NAPA main window.

    Introduction to NAPA System

     NAPA- Naval Architectural PAckage.


     Handling all types of floating structures.
     All geometry definitions based on a 3D
    ship model.
     Single database,multi user environment.

    3
    Contd….
    .

     Wide range of naval architectural


    calculations.
     NAPA is originally a command
    oriented program.
     Also have detailed and dynamic GUI.
     NAPA contains several sub systems-
    that perform various tasks (functions
    related to ship design).

    4
    Subsystems of NAPA
     Mainly 2 subsystems
    Application Subsystems - Performs
    functions related to ship design
    (Hydrostatics, Damage stability, Loading
    conditions etc).
    Auxiliary Subsystems –Performs functions
    needed for internal functions of the
    system (project administration, database
    management, graphic calculations etc).

    Starting a new NAPA session

    • Click on the NAPA icon.


    • Give the
    User id : ADMI
    Password :
    and you move on to the
    main window of NAPA.

    8
    NAPA Main window

    9
    Creating a new project in NAPA

    • From NAPA main window,

    File Create new project

    10
    Text editor window

    • From NAPA main window,


    Tools Text editor

    • Commands can be given in the


    text editor window

    • To open an existing file,


    File Open Select filename

    • After typing all the commands,


    save the file and run it.

    11
    Geometry window

    • To view the output


    • Path is :
    Napa Main window
    Tools
    Geometry window.

    12
    How to give commands in NAPA ?
    • By default, NAPA uses right handed coordinate
    system.
    X longitudinal direction.
    Y transverse direction.
    Z heights.

    • To define a curve, keyword ‘cur’ is used.

    • -/ operator to define a straight line between the


    given two points

    13
    * Operator to define the curve to
    follow the given order of input of points.

    /<angle> curve should approach the


    next point at the given slope.

    <curve1>/<curve2> point of
    intersection of given two curves.

    Keyword used to define a surface is ‘sur’.

    14
    Designing a ship with NAPA
    • Combination of forward part, parallel mid body and the aft part gives
    the complete hull.

    Forward part Parallel mid body Aft part

    Complete hull 15
    Example:
    'DEFINITION OF FORWARD PART'

    cur frf
    x 62
    yz * (0 0) -/ (4.7 0) (6.5 1.8) /- (6.5 11.5)

    cur stem
    y 0
    xz * (62 0) -/ (80 0) (84 2.2) (82.2 4) (81.7 4.4) (81.9 5) -/
    (85.5 11.5)

    cur deckf
    z 11.5
    xy * frf -/ (72 6.5) (75 6.3) (84 2.5) stem

    cur fsf
    y 6.5
    xz * frf/z=1.8 (65 2.2) deckf/x=72

    cur fbf
    z 0
    xy * frf/y=4.7 (65 4.65) stem/x=80

    sur hullf
    thr frf stem deckf fsf fbf
    ok

    16
    • Similarly, give commands to create aft part (hulla) and the parallel
    mid body (hullm).
    • Now, combine all the three parts to form the complete hull.
    • Example :

    'DEFINITION OF HULL‘

    sur hull
    com hulla hullm hullf
    ok

    17
    Hull surface editor

    • Intended for the modification of hull surfaces or any surface defined by


    a curve grid.
    • Path is :
    Napa main window Tools Hull surface editor
    • Hull fairing and patch creation can be done here.
    • A patch is an area which is limited by the nearest curves in the grid.

    18
    Forward part Aft part

    Parallel mid body Complete hull 19


    • To create stations / buttock lines / waterlines :
    Hull surface editor Curve Create new curve.

    20
    • To fair the curve.
    Click the curve definition tool and edit the command.

    Before fairing

    After fairing
