Paramarine Tutorial 5

Paramarine Tutorial 5 In this tutorial we will learn how to perform a longitudinal strength analysis of our design. We will then define the structural elements that comprise the ship structure and check if the design satisfies the criteria for maximum stress. Finally, a midship section will be generated. A table with material properties, as well as materials catalogues are provided. Longitudinal Strength Analysis A longitudinal weight distribution for the vessel is required in order that a longitudinal strength analysis can be carried out. The longl_weight_distribution_approx object allows an approximate longitudinal weight distribution to be calculated based on volumes. The method assumes that the main hull and first tier of superstructure are uniformly and homogenously filled with equipment. You specify a point weight defining the required total weight ('total_weight_point'), the bodies defining the main hull and superstructure in 'homogenous_bodies', and any large weight items for which distributions are known in 'discrete_weights'. 1. Insert a stability placeholder and name it long strength 2. Right click on long strength – insert – ship advanced stability long_weight_distribution_approx 3. Right click on homogenous bodies – insert – body_pointer – name it hull 4. Select for object the hull solid. 5. Follow the same procedure for accommodation and process facility 6. Right click on discrete_weights – insert – weight_linear – name it turret 7. For the weight value set 10.000 tn 8. Define the points, min, max and centroid. 9. At the total_weight_point set the final value of weight to be 73.000 tn. This includes the weight of the homogenous bodies and the discrete weights. 10. Now that you have completed this step go back to the basic_ship – expand – right click on datum – operations – copy of – total_weight_distributed 11.

Do the same thing and add a stiffener_tolerance and a fabrication_tolerance 8. You can have the tolerances set to zero 9. Under the structures – insert – Structures Setup – stiffener_profile_holder 10. Right click on stiffener_profile_holder – insert - Stiffener_profile_built_up – name it for example: T250x100 11. Expand it to make it valid. Select a profile type, L or T. go to tolerance, double click and link it with the stiffener_tolerance defined earlier 12. Expand the design data and give values 13.

Under the specifications – insert – struct_placeholder – name it plate specifications 16. Under plate specifications – insert – Structures Setup – plate_specification 17. Expand the plate_specification and link the material and tolerance with the ones we have defined earlier 18. Give a design thickness 19. Follow the same procedure and add stiffener specifications placeholder under the specifications placeholder. Then add a stiffener_specification object. Link the profile with one of the stiffener profiles we have defined earlier and also link with the material. 20. You can add more specifications 21. Under the structures – insert – struct_placeholder – name it stiffener schemas 22. Under plate specifications – insert – Structures Setup - Stiffener_schema_frames – name it frames 23. Expand the frames – double click on the frame_generator – link it with the transverse bulkheads you have created earlier 24. Double click on the default_specification and link it with one of the stiffener specifications you have defined earlier 25. Expand the stiffeners folder to see the stiffeners 26. Under plate specifications – insert – Structures Setup - Stiffener_schema_planar – name it planar 27. Expand and select xz_stiffeners. For the alignment select keepi_in_plane. 28. Double click on the default_specification and link it with one of the stiffener specifications you have defined earlier 29. Right click on locations – insert – a-b for_next. Give the location of the stiffeners. Start at –beam to +beam, select increments 30. Expand the stiffeners folder to see the stiffeners 31.

Expand and link the fabrication_tolerances and the plate_specification with the ones defined earlier. 34. Right click on the stiffener_schemas folder – insert – name planar – in the pop-up window link with the planar xz_stiffeners 35. You should add more stiffener schemas, if you want to have large and small stiffeners on the same plate. 36. You can create more scantling definitions 37.

Double click on loadings and link it with the longl_bending_load_wave object 55. Give an x location for the section. Make sure you use the location of the maximum bending moment 56. Check the results 57. Double click on picture to see the midship section 58. For further reading go to the structural definition help file To create a more detailed midship section you need to do the following. Go back to the geometry placeholder and under the hull placeholder you will find the solid which defines the hull. Remember this is a copy of the hull solid that we created with intellihull, so you don’t want to change the original one. Select the copy of the hull – click on operations – select subdivide – it will ask you for a division bound – choose one of the planes (decks, long or transverse bkhds) we had created before As an example select the double bottom. Expand the hull solid and you will see that two new solids are created, one for the upper hull and one for the lower hull. Do the same with the rest of the planes. Now go to the structures folder – panels folder – panel_generator_bodies – right click – insert – point to the new sub-solids we just created. Now if you go to the panel generator, you will see that the generated panels are more than the ones we had before. Assign scantlings and check your midship section again. It should look like this: 4
