Advanced structural integrity management software is capable of using a structural Computer Aided Design (CAD) geometry to track the condition of a marine or offshore asset in a virtual environment. ABS Nautical Systems Hull Manager 3D (HM3D) converts a 3D CAD model to a database that stores vessel condition information and provides the ability to track condition changes due to structural degradation. Ultrasonic thickness measurements are mapped directly onto the 3D model such that visualization and utility functions can help determine the remaining life and calculate critical global strength parameters, such as the section modulus and cross sectional areas. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) based structural reassessments are also facilitated through functionality that allows the auto creation of Finite Element (FE) models in the as-gauged condition and export the models to relevant finite element analysis solvers using the add-on link within HM3D to Altair’s Hyperworks® software. Hyperworks then generates an FE mesh (global or local models, as required by the user) along with the structural properties (metadata), such as the material grades and gauged thickness. Today, structural engineers face difficulty in practically applying automesh capability to complex or detailed as-built geometry. This is especially true when considering marine and offshore structures, where those assets tend to be very complex geometrically. The challenge posed in this project was to use the as-built structural CAD model as the input and automesh assisted algorithm for creating an FE model along with all the topological metadata, such as material grade and thickness.
