Description
Summary:art I of this paper presents basic knowledge about Finite Element Method including the modeling method of ship structures. Numerical modeling methods were also shortly described. A ship hull and the upper works are typical thin-walled structures. Modeling method of plates (typical 2-D elements) with stiffeners (1-D elements) is presented in details. In the part II of the article, practical example of Ro-Ro ship's deck analyses was performed using Patran-Nastran software (MSC Software). The most common and dangerous risks and errors occurring in the process of ship structure modeling were discussed.
