Dear All,
I am writing regarding some question on a Global FEA for a vessel.
I need to run a Global model of a vessel on FEMAP. The 3D model is ready but I am fighting a bit with the loading.
As Input I know the BM and SF distribution to apply, and the vessel is in equilibrium by default. So, no reaction expected in way of constrains.
The problem is I am struggling in calculating the equivalent nodal forces: I don't know how to generate the nodal loads able to induce on the vessel the prescribed BM and SF.
Does anyone in the forum have any experience with it? Thanks!
