Abstract

1. Problem analysis:
   Brief introduction to the procedure imposed by the naval registers for the set up of the direct calculation;
   
2. FEM analysis of the ship model:
   Model analysis: problems related to the geometry and its complexity, the multibody parts and the contact elements
   Mesh analysis: mesh parameters definition
   Results analysis: static linear simulation, comparison with the imposed threshold stresses, introduction to the sub-model.
   
3. Sub-model analysis: non linear analysis, large displacements
   Sub-model creation
   Non linear analysis set up, node displacements interpolation
   Mesh parameters definition
   Results analysis: solution convergence
   
4. Final considerations and future prospects
