The finite element analysis of ship hull structure is an important task in ship development,and the quality of the finite element mesh of ship hull structure has a significant impact on the analysis results.With the trend of CAD/CAE integration,it has become a common practice to directly convert CAD design models into CAE analysis models.However,the complex ship hull structure still requires a lot of manual work to adjust the generated finite element models,which affects the design efficiency and quality.In order to solve this problem,this research proposes a finite element modeling method,which aims to achieve automatic mesh optimization.The research was verified by a cargo hold of a certain container ship,and the results showed that the proposed method can reduce the workload.
