Description
The course is an introduction to programs for modelling and FE-analyses of bulk carriers according to the CSR Bulk rules. Focus is put on extruding a cross section from Section Scantling, then 3D modelling a three cargo hold model and mesh control in GeniE, applying loads, corrosion additions and boundary conditions according to the CSR Bulk rules, running a Sestra analysis and post-processing using Xtract. Yield and buckling strength checks according to CSR Bulk is also covered.

The course will be a combination of lectures and hands-on training. The hands-on example consists of building a fairly complete and realistic cargo hold model, analysing it and buckling and stress level assessment.

Learning objectives
After the course you should be able to use Nauticus Hull and GeniE for cargo hold modelling and execute FE-analyses for buckling control and strength and stress level assessment according to the CSR Bulk rules.

Target group
Naval architects, designers, hull structural engineers and approval engineers with no or limited experience using Nauticus Hull for the common structural rules for bulk carriers.
