The 460 tons are quite uniform distributed along 85 meter long
there is nothing we can do about it
the space between the two floating docks is restricted by the pontoons width

Sway is anther problem which will be required to be investigated also
but from what you said is if the acceleration is steady fixed the above calculation is considered correct ,right ?
JStephen
Thanks
Just to make sure
lets assume that acceleration = 2 m/sec2
the pontoon mass is 460 tons
added mass is = 460 * 2 = 920 newton = 93.7 tons
Total effecting mass = 460 + 93.7 = 553.7 Tons ??
i made this calculation before and i had doubt about it because as LittleInch said...

I agree with you that big floating cranes won't move that fast, but in our case it's moving that fast in somecases
The overload sensors shut down all motors when this happen even the pontoon weight is 460 tons and both floating cranes have sum of 1000 tons lifting capacity
Thank...
Dear Sir's
I have a pontoon with length of 85 meters which is lifted by two floating cranes as shown
my question is when the floating crane is in heaving motion (go up and down suddenly due to do waves) how can i calculate this motion impact on wires and on the pontoon itself
it's something...
Dear Sirs
I'm quite new with dealing with ansys
I'm working now on a on-linear analysis
i followed alot of tutorials on internet and followed them step by step
i'm seeking to plot force against displacement in a graph
in my thought that the curve should have positive slop and go up until...
it's some thing like gate and the load comes from water current
it will open like two times a day
but it should be easy to remove lock so i can open in short time for emergencies
@TLHS
thanks for help
what other solution do you advice me to use in stead of this one ?
all i need is to prevent these two beams from going up is same time i need this lock to be temporary so i can open it when i need to let the beams to move up
Dear Sirs
In attached picture i have two beams which has hing at their end and they are supposed to move upwards under effect of uniform distributed load
but their movement must be stopped using two sets (each set consist of two eye plates each plate is welded on a beam and pin going through...
