rb1957,
Thanks for your reply!
I know about the parallel axis theorem. The problem is that a cross section of the model contains a lot of area's with complex shapes. I was wondering if there is a way to let FEMAP calculate the total second moment of area for a model.
I would assume the second...
As a student I'm working in a FEMAP model of an heavy lift ship. I'm looking for the second moment of area of the total vessel so I can create a representative equivalent model as well as being able to compare the results with hand calculations. The cross sections contains beam elements for...
