For the representation of the physical structure of a ship we will need
an ontological theory about shapes (points, lines, planes, surfaces,
solids et cetera) and spatial relations (near, above, next-to et cetera).
One of the things such an ontology will have to support is a finite
element analysis over the represented shapes.

I could not find such a thing in the Stanford ontology libabry. Does
anbybody know whether there is something that we can (re)use?
