Strength Analysis of 20 Cubic Meters Marine LNG Storage Tank
LNG(liquefied natural gas)is a new type of clean energy source,and the inten-sity analysis of marine LNG storage tanks is crucial for the shipbuilding industry.For the intensity analysis of marine LNG storage tanks,with the 20 m3 marine LNG storage tank as the example,the design parameters of ship LNG tank are summarized.Combined with the structural design,the entity simplification model is established by using the software SOLIDWORK.Then,the model is imported with the STEP file into the software Hyper-Mesh,setting up materials and units,adding constraints and contacts,then adding the con-straint load by importing the WorkBench in the cdb file,and finally calculating the finite el-ement.
