Transportation analysis procedure

From base model export the deck to new GeniE analysis Import an existing barge (or make a new) Move deck to intersect with skid beams or sea-fastenings

Export model for hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analysis

Import results from hydrodynamic and run linear structural analysis followed by result evaluations

Transportation analysis export to hydro-static/dynamics

Same model may be used for
- Panel model - Mass model - Compartment model the filling and balancing are done during equilibrium analysis
