Structural Code Check Post-Processing

Code checking of offshore structures can be performed by DeepLines.

The structural elements that can be checked are:

• Tubular member (Circular Hollow Section).
• Tubular intersections (Circular Hollow Section) also called joints CHS.
• Rectangular hollow shell with stiffener and girder.
• Unstiffened conical hollow shells.
• (Un)stiffened cylindrical hollow shells.

The complete list of the available code checks and the references of the regulations is given on the section Structural Code Check of the Theory manual.

In the next subsection Code check study, we describe how to apply a code check calculation by:

• Defining a study,
• Launching the study,
• Retrieving the results of the study which are the ratios of the checked elements.

In the following subsections, we describe the input data which are specific to the checked elements: tubes, joints or shells.

• Code checks on tube

• Code checks on joint

• Code checks on shells:

  • Code checks on rectangular shell

  • Code checks on cylindrical shell

  • Code checks on conical shell

Note

Tubular code checks have been introduced first in DeepLines: they have been validated by comparisons with Excel sheets results.

For the most recent code checks on shells, Mathcad sheets are used to validate DeepLines results. These Mathcad sheets, which give step by step details about the equations used to get the results, are reproduced in PDF format at the end of the three above sections.

The different ways to launch a code check study are pointed out in the Running a code check study section.

Finally, the Displaying code check ratios section shows how to display code check ratios on the 3D view of the model.
