FE Model for the CPF Using CAD to ANSYS IGES Import/Export

摘要

1. In general, importing and meshing complex ship CAD surfaces into ANSYS presents a major challenge. 2. Importing hull geometry into ANSYS is an effective way (reduce time/cost and obtain good quality surfaces) to develop FE models for ships as compared to building the whole FE model in ANSYS. 3. It is recommended that complex ship hulls should be repaired in CAD before they are imported into ANSYS. 4. The CAD geometry imported into ANSYS should be as simple as possible. Simple components such as main decks and transoms can be modeled directly in ANSYS.
