Frame and Girder Model
The frame and girder analysis is used to analyze the stresses and deformations in the main
frame or girder system. The calculations should include the results induced by bending, shear,
and torsion. The minimum requirements are a function of the type of vessel being analyzed,
but should include at least one transverse web in the forward cargo hold or tank (Figure 5.3)
The model may be included in the cargo hold and ballast tank models or run separately using
the boundary conditions from that model analysis.
