Project Description
The scope of this analysis was to verify the structural strength of the boomrest structure which supports the boom of a 5000 tons offshore crane, during transit of the vessel.
The crane is mounted on a new built heavy lift vessel of 225 meters long, capable of installing offshore windmills on sea fields.
Yield and Buckling check have been performed for this analysis.
For the buckling check, scripts have been incorporated in the finite element calculation software which automatically export component stresses for each plate panel of the structure and for each load case.
