Case study: Hull strength analysis using the finite element method.

A full hull model close to the actual structure was created, and strength analysis of the model was conducted.

**Case Summary** ■Product Name: Simcenter Femap with Nastran ■Analysis: Linear Static Analysis ■Industry: Railways and Shipping Finite element method strength calculations are widely used in hull design. The hull structure, composed of many components such as decks, side plating, double bottoms, bulkheads, and longitudinal and transverse strength frames, is complex, making it difficult to analyze just a part of it. This example created a full model close to the actual structure and conducted a strength analysis of the entire hull model. - The mesh generation feature of Simcenter Femap allows for the creation of complex hull FEM models. - Creation and management of loads such as static/dynamic water pressure and cargo conditions. - Improved computational efficiency through continuous analysis of multiple load cases. - The parallel processing capability of Simcenter Nastran enables analysis of large-scale models. □ For other features and details, please refer to the catalog.
