| Course code: | NA-16 Nauticus Hull cargo hold FE analysis - DNV 1A1 |
| Duration: | 3 days |

| Venue: | On request |
| Course fee: | Upon enquiry |
Description
The course is an introduction to programs for FE analyses of the cargo hold area in accordance with the Nauticus Newbuildings rules (DNV 1A1). 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 DNV 1A1, 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 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-02 Nauticus Hull RuleCheck - DNV Rules course.
The course will also provide a presentation of the DNV 1A1 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 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 DNV 1A1 rules.
| Prerequisite Basic understanding of ship structures and hull strength and use of FE analyses for strength calculations. Knowledge in Nauticus Hull as covered in NA-02 Nauticus Hull RuleCheck - DNV Rules is recommended. |
