Brief Description and Purpose: It became clear that computer simulation would play a major role in the Navy’s Advanced Surface Machinery and the Advanced Electrical Power System programs at CDNSWC. In particular, accurate computer simulations could be used advantageously in all stages of component and system design and development. Simulation is a necessity if concurrent design and development (concurrent engineering) is to succeed. Since 1987, P C. Krause and Associates (PCKA) had been involved in the development of computer models for the Navy (NSWC). The need for simulation in the Navy’s engineering approach to advanced machinery and electrical systems coupled with the fact that PCKA had been instrumental in developing the present simulation capability of NSWC provided the basis for this contract. PCKA provided the Navy with engineering services in the area of detailed and reduced-order modeling and analysis of components/systems which were being contemplated and/or developed in the advanced machinery and electrical systems programs. Since PCKA had not been involved with manufacturers other than through or with the Government agency. This enables PCKA to provide an independent evaluation since the personnel associated with PCKA had not received corporate grants or contracts from manufacturers which could be construed as a conflict of interest. Here, again, PCKA was successfully casted in the role of an honest broker.
