DNV GL LOADNauticus Hull - 3D Beam

Beam structural analysis

The 3D Beam software tool is used for efficient modelling and analysis of 3D beam structures. It can be used as a stand-alone program or as an integrated part of Nauticus Hull, and is an ideal tool for first assessment of structural design.

Nauticus Hull - 3D Beam software

·         Intuitive and user-friendly interface allows you to reduce modelling time, even for complex models

·         Flexible visualization of parts or the full model in any number of independent views

·         Easy generation, combination and visualization of loads, due to hydrostatic pressure, inertia, wind, snow, temperature etc

·         Large library of cross section profile types, including standard Nauticus profiles

·         Display of force and moment diagrams directly on the model together with colour plots of stress distributions and deformations

Key benefits for beam structural analysis

·         Named collections of beams and nodes for convenient switching between selections

·         Display of the model in wire mode with rigid ends and hinges, and optional display of boundary conditions, cross sections, and local axes, or a solid view of the model

·         Use of discontinuous beam properties, e.g. for modelling of wires

·         Input and results in sortable tables for easy result evaluation and generation of reports with flexible reporting tool

·         Geometries may be generated in MS Excel and pasted into the 3D Beam software

·         User-specified cross sections can be exported for re-use in other models
