Nauticus Hull cargo hold FE analysis - CSR Tank

Description
The course is an introduction to programs for FE analyses of the cargo hold area in accordance with the IACS Common Structural Rules for Oil Tankers (CSR Tank). This includes modelling, analysis, postprocessing yield and buckling strength checks.

Focus is put on extruding a cross section from section scantlings, 3D modelling and mesh control in GeniE, applying loads, corrosion additions and boundary conditions according to CSR Tank, running a Sestra analysis and post-processing using Xtract. Yield and buckling strength checks according to CSR Tank are covered.

The course will be a combination of lectures and hands-on training. The hands-on example consists of building a cargo hold model, analysing it and do stress level assessment. The cross section for the cargo hold model is extruded from a midship section modelled in Section Scantlings in the NA-03 Nauticus Hull RuleCheck - CSR Tank course.

The course will also provide a presentation of the CSR Tank rules and their requirements to strength assessment analyses of the cargo hold area.

Learning objectives
After the course you should be able to use Nauticus Hull for cargo hold modelling and execute FE-analyses for buckling control and strength and stress level assessment.

Target group
Naval architects, designers, hull structural engineers and approval engineers with no or limited experience using Nauticus Hull for the Common Structural Rules for Oil Tankers.
