Genie Workshop:
Local model of cargo rail
The purpose of this workshop is to create a model intended for stress analysis of a cargorail on a floating vessel.
The focus is primarily on making the structureand not the loads nor detailed mesh control.
There are four loadcases covering selfweight,
wet surface loads and a combination.
It is assumed that the user is familiar withstructure modelling (beams and plates using snap
to point modelling techniques). Furthermore, it is
required that the user has basic knowledge on
GeniEs user interface and how the user may
interact with the model to derive necessary
information (such as length, positions, properties,
display settings and so on).
Some detailed guidance is given in the
beginning of the tutorial to exemplify how
to work with GeniE
The workshop is also accompanied with input filesfor GeniE (Journal file)
You need to make mesh and run analysis to
see results
This workshop should be viewed on-line or oncolour print out to best see the property colour
coding.
All pictures have been created using paperbackground
Default viewing settings have been modified
The structural data as well as the loads are fictitious
This tutorial has been made with GeniE versionD5.3-06 (March 2011) it may be that you need
