Drydock Analysis System (DAS) User's Guide, Beta Version, Static Analysis of Drydock Structures

Abstract

DAS (Drydock Analysis System) is a collection of FORTRAN programs used to statically analyze drydock structures constructed of reinforced concrete. Preprocessor programs allow graphic creation of a geometric model with its boundary and loading conditions. The SAP4 linear finite element analysis program is used to analyze the drydock structure based upon plane strain analysis theory. Postprocessing programs produce displaced shapes and graphic interpretations of stress results. The overall is activated through a set of menu selections; the programs reuse of the basic geometric model for several different load cases.
