A plate field optimization tool for offshore structures calculated according to DNVGL standards
Project description
Save cost and time by efficient optimization and reporting!
ANYstructure is a GUI based steel dimension calculation and weight optimization tool intended for naval architects structural engineers. It is easy to used intended to provide an efficient way to dimension and optimize your floating structure.
It is based on DNV-OS-C101 Design of offshore steel structures, general - LRFD method.
The following is caluculated:
Minimum section module for stiffener
Minimum plate thickness
Buckling capacity (DNV-RP-C201 Buckling Strength of Plated Structures), PULS (licenced DNV software) and Machine Learning buckling calculations.
Plate/stiffener connection fatigue (DNV-RP-C203: Fatigue Design of Offshore Steel Structures)
Bow slamming according to DNVGL ship rules
Weights, COG, COB. Development recorded for reporting.
Loads are defined as follows:
External surface loads defined by polynominal equations
Tank loads are calculated automatically
Loads are combined according to DNVGL-OS-C101.
Installation
The easiest way to install the package is via pip:
$ pip install anystructure
Usage
An entry point is defined. After installing on PIP, just type “ANYstructure” in the command window.
Alternatively run __main__.py
