Description:Modern ships, and naval ships in particular, feature a wide range of components. Devices for power generation, navigation, and defense are all interconnected in a complex, integrated system. Software is heavily used in the design phase when placing internal components; however, manually placing components can be time consuming, especially when designers are considering things like weight distribution and accessibility to components for maintenance. In this paper we present a methodology for automatically arranging components in a ship design in a manner that eliminates overlaps, provides spacing between components, and minimizes connection length. The algorithm is described, and several examples of varying complexity are presented
