Finite element stress/strain simulation of the ship superstructure after the installation of additional emergency power unit.
According to updated classification requirements an additional emergency power plant had to be added to the top deck of the number of cruise ships. The Femap/NX Nastran simulation had a goal to check the general performance of the modified structure.
Basing on the potential problems discovered by this simulation our team had proposed a number of ship structure modifications aimed at elimination of potential threats. Simulation series had included both initial and modified variant of the further structure.
