Rig of Sailing Ship
  • Description
  • Reviews (0)

The model is used to simulate the rig of the Alexander von Humboldt II, which has been in operation since October 2011. The three-masted barque tall ship provides the opportunity for one-day and multi-day sailing trips as well as special training trips. It is the first new German tall ship to be built since the Gorch Fock, with the mast and hull constructed of steel. HB Hunte Engineering GmbH and Marine Engineering Wollert GmbH were responsible for the structure, using RFEM for the calculation of the rigging and the strength analysis.

Elastic Foundation
A two-stage calculation is necessary to correctly model and calculate floating bodies (special rafts, pontoons, floating jetties, dredgers, floating houses, inflatable islands, floating cranes, houseboats, and so on).
Deformations as First Result of FEM Calculation
The deformations of the FE nodes are always the first result of an FE calculation. It is possible to calculate strains, internal forces, and stresses based on these deformations and the stiffness of the elements.
Illustration of a method for performing stability analysis according to DIN EN 1992-1-1 in RFEM 6
For reinforced concrete components and structures whose structural behavior is significantly influenced by the second-order effects, Eurocode 2 provides the general method based on a nonlinear determination of internal forces according to the second-order analysis (5.8.6), as well as an approximation method based on the nominal curvature (5.8.8).

The aim of this technical article is to perform a design according to the general design method of Eurocode 2, using the example of a slender reinforced concrete column.
Modell eines Stahlbetonbalkens, der durch Kriechen und Schwinden beeinflusst wird
This technical article addresses the direct deformation analysis of reinforced concrete beams considering the long-term effects of creep and shrinkage. The direct calculation according to Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1, Section 7.4.3) is explained using a single-span beam. Particular emphasis is placed on tension stiffening, behavior in the cracked state based on the distribution factor (damage parameter), and consideration of shrinkage and creep behavior.

Product Features
Feature 002443 | Control of Crack Condition for Deformation and Crack Width Analysis

Various design parameters of the cross-sections can be adjusted in the serviceability limit state configuration. The applied cross-section condition for the deformation and crack width analysis can be controlled there.

For this, the following settings can be activated:

  • Crack state calculated from associated load
  • Crack state determined as an envelope from all SLS design situations
  • Cracked state of cross-section - independent of load
Feature 002415 | Improved Segmentation for Deformation Analysis

In the "Deflection and Design Support" tab under "Edit Member", the members can be clearly segmented using optimized input windows. Depending on the supports, the deformation limits for cantilever beams or single-span beams are used automatically.

By defining the design support in the corresponding direction at the member start, member end, and intermediate nodes, the program automatically recognizes the segments and segment lengths to which the allowable deformation is related. It also automatically detects whether it is a beam or a cantilever due to the defined design supports. The manual assignment, as in the previous versions (RFEM 5), is no longer necessary.

The "User-Defined Lengths" option allows you to modify the reference lengths in the table. The corresponding segment length is always used by default. If the reference length deviates from the segment length (for example, in the case of curved members), it can be adjusted.

Feature 002416 | Result Display via Clipping Plane

This feature also contributes to the clearly-arranged display of your results. Clipping planes are intersecting planes that you can place freely throughout the model. The zone in front of or behind the plane is consequently hidden in the display. This way, you can clearly and simply show the results in an intersection or a solid, for example.

Feature 002423 | Displaying Results in Solids

The results of solid stresses can be displayed as colored 3D points in the finite elements.
