Introduction Paramarine
Paramarine is a fully integrated Naval Architecture tool, where all design and
analysis work takes place within one common graphical user interface,
eliminating the need for data exports to other packages.

Parametric Design Approach
Paramarines object orientated design approach allows designs to be generated
and controlled with ease through input characteristics. These can be used to
parametrically define the hull, which can be assessed for stability, structure and
manoeuvring performance. The resulting values are always up to date,
eliminating the need for the user to manually recalculate any part of the design.
Paramarine is an Object Oriented design system for the marine sector. It consists
of a kernel database (the Kernel) driven by a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
mostly by text commands in Kernel Command Language (KCL). The GUI queries
the Kernel in various ways in order to provide output to the user. A Paramarine
design is held in a hierarchical design "tree" structure of "placeholders" (folders)
and functional objects that apply to specific types of data (i.e. geometry,
stability, analysis data).
In a manner similar to spreadsheets, objects within Paramarine can be interlinked (that is, "wired") to build up a result. The only constraints on "wiring" are
that a circular reference must not be formed, and that the data is of a compatible
data type (i.e. number, geometry element and so on). This facility allows the
designer to construct many types of model ranging from concept sizing
parametric models to complex stability analyses that will automatically recalculate when constituent items change.
