[Example] 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 Overview** ■Product Name: NX 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 plates, 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 that closely resembles the actual structure and conducted a strength analysis of the entire hull model. - Creation of complex hull FEM models using Femap's mesh generation capabilities - Creation and management of loads such as static/dynamic water pressure and cargo conditions - Improved computational efficiency through continuous analysis of multiple load cases - Analysis of large-scale models made possible by NX Nastran's parallel processing capabilities □ For other features and details, please refer to the catalog.
