The Electric Ship Research and Development Consortium (ESRDC) conducted an extensive design exercise using the Smart Ship Systems Design (S3D) tool with the goal of exercising and improving the functionality of the S3D design environment currently under development by the ESRDC. S3D is a design environment that enables concurrent, multi-disciplinary collaboration and that introduces simulation capability in early-stage ship design [1]. This work examines the S3D design environment's capabilities in a realistic design exercise. To this end, a baseline ship and several variants were designed with a 10,000 ton displacement and a 100 MW integrated power system to explore the effects of new technologies and to determine the capability of S3D in elucidating differences between design variants. Key features and performance effects of each design and an analysis of S3D capabilities are presented.
