01 — Project journey

From assumptions to substantiated results.

A documented view of assumptions, load cases, models and reviewable calculation results.

Stage 01Engineering evidence

Calculation geometries & shell models

Both lifting beams are simplified at their neutral surfaces and actual thicknesses are assigned to the shell elements to preserve the stiffness of plates, stiffeners and arms.
