Three-Dimensional Verification Model of Floating Wind Energy Converter Using LS-DYNA3D Code
Keywords:
verification of floating wind converter analysis, 3-D analysis of floating wind energy turbine, modeling of floating wind energy turbine by LS-DYNA3D code, 3-D floating wind converter for LS-DYNA3D code modeling, dynamic analysis of structure.Abstract
The use of an explicit LS-DYNA3D code for analysing full-scale structure requires validation using robust methodology and formulations. A characteristic prototype three-dimensional model of a floating object been developed to further test the action and available features in the code before they employed in three dimensions full-scale model. In an attempt to increase confidence in the expected findings, before to expand to the full-scale floating turbine to be analysed by this code. Employed features such as; different material cards, contact, property cards, control cards, constraints and boundaries are all checked and have shown good agreement with hand calculation and or energy dissipation and engineering judgement.
