| Course code: | SE-16 FPSO cargo hold analysis |
| Duration: | 3 days |

Description
The course is an introduction to programs for modelling and FE analyses of FPSOs according to the DNV Offshore Standard OS-C102. 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 OS-C102 and RP-C102, running a Sestra analysis and post-processing using Xtract.
The course will be a combination of lectures and hands-on training. The hands-on example consists of building and meshing 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 SE-14 course.
The course will also provide an introduction of the DNV Offshore Rules and their requirements to strength assessment analyses of the cargo hold area.
Learning objectives
After the course you should be able to create FPSO cargo hold models and execute FE analyses for strength and stress level assessment.
Target group
Structural engineers working with design of FPSOs.
| Prerequisite Basic understanding of ship structures and hull strength and use of FE analyses for strength calculations. Knowledge in Nauticus Hull as covered in SE-14 FPSO rule check. It is beneficial if the participants has attended SE-01 Concept based FE modelling and analysis using GeniE - Introductory. |
