dc.description.abstractThe development process of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) typically requires evaluation of the stability and controllability of a large number of candidate vehicle configurations. The three-dimensional animated simulation presented in t his thesis provides a computer-based tool with which initial screenings of candidate vehicle configurations can be performed. The three dimensional animation includes an animated AUV and instrument panel. The application is written with Open Inventor, a C++ graphics library developed by Silicon Graphics and based on OpenGL. The entire package was initially developed on a Silicon Graphics Indy workstation and then ported to a PC running Windows NT and equipped with an OpenGL compatible graphics card.
