Abstract

One of the complicated analyses problems in structural analysis is the floating wind converter, in this paper the preprocessor of LS-DYNA3D namely, FEMB28 is used in formulating the float geometry and preparing the input file ready to be exported the solver or processor for analysis. Keen methodology is followed in geometrical meshing, material, and contact boundary conditions, all precautions in model creation are detailed. The paper tend to investigate the power of the LSDYNA3D finite element code to model such complicated structure working in an extremely harsh environmental severe loading conditions, therefore the code robustness and capability to handle stress analysis for such dynamic structures.
