Webinar – Closed Flexible Structures

For the upcoming release 2.22 we have done further work to improve highly complex analysis with closed compartments and flexible, impermeable membranes. In our webinar we showed best practices when working with closed, flexible structures, and examples of structures.

The recording of the webinar is available on our YouTube channel.

Topics covered

Tarpaulin closed compartment

Introduction to the static equilibrium of closed systems, including internal water height, tarpaulin elasticity, and floater buoyancy. The tutorial also considers fresh water inside and brackish water outside.
