Finite element simulation of the heavy lifting cargo barge hull cylindrical part

Finite element simulation of the heavy lifting cargo barge hull cylindrical part

The main goal of the Femap/NX Nastran simulation was to show the ability of heavy lifting cargo barge hull structure to withstand normative cargo load (3000 tons on 3 cargo jibs oriented to the portside of the barge). Three sections with cargo jib foundation frames placed on them have been simulated. The performance of the cargo barge construction has been totally confirmed.
