Abstract

An advanced software package to calculate and analyse ship hull strength by Finite Element Method (FEM) is being developed in Polski Rejestr Statkow in collaboration with the Technical University of Gdansk - Faculty of Ocean Engineering and Ship Technology and design offices of the main Polish shipyards. The software incorporates topology, loads, boundary conditions and material properties into the FEM model (a pre-processor facility) and enables to perform detailed analysis of the obtained results ( a post-processor facility). The system also includes translation modules that allow the conversion of
