DET NORSKE VERITAS1SesamCrane pedestalDNV Software – GeniE Crane Pedestal WorkshopRevised 12 March 2011Modelling in GeniESesam User Course in Curved Structure ModellingGenie Workshop:Local model of crane pedestal•The purpose of this workshop is to create a model intended for stress analysis of a crane pedestal installed on a floating vessel
•The focus is primarily on making the structure and not the loads nor detailed mesh control
There are 2 loadcases covering selfweight and the mass of the lifting object
In addition there is a load combination accounting for dynamic amplification factor of the crane load
•It is assumed that the user is familiar with structure modelling (beams and plates using snap to point modelling techniques)
Furthermore, it is required that the user has basic knowl
