Fatigue life of HPU supporting structure

Evaluation of fatigue life of HPU supporting structure in a vessel crane foundation.

The task included:

  • 3D modelling of internal and external vessel structure based on 2D drawings.
  • Determination of loads based on vessel transport envelope and crane operations.
  • Detailed finite element analysis in ANSYS of the crane pedestal, crane foundation, HPU supporting structure, and relevant surrounding vessel structure.
  • Evaluation and reporting of fatigue life for critical members.
