FEA software for very large structural analysis with defects
Hi all, Thanks for the conversation. I've been testing Ansys, but it hits a wall when the size of the model gets too big. I'm modeling a FPSO by the way, the whole boat in its real condition (with cracks, corrosion, etc.). So I have a coarse mesh in the global model (t10 DNV-RP-C206 for the...- Alonso84

FEA software for very large structural analysis with defects
Thank you ThomasH and ShellsPlatesMeshes for you kind answer, ShellsPlatesMeshes: - What are the components ? Beams, plates, shells ? * I need 3D basically. The idea is to model a virtual replica of the asset, a Digital Twin. - Is there an elastic foundation of some sort ? * No - What sort...- Alonso84

FEA software for very large structural analysis with defects
Hi all, I need some help (hope this is the right place to post). I need to decide on the right FEA software for a project I will do. Project: structural analysis of a very large asset. The model would have between 100 and 500 million degrees of freedom. Simulations of at least 50 load cases...- Alonso84
