7.5.4. Calculate - SF / BM Calculation

This is a component of the Bending Moment/Shear Force calculation utility activated from the Model Visualisation Window. To start this facility select Ship Bending/Shear from the Select menu.

The Calculate button will cause the AGS to recalculate the Bending Moment and Shear forces along the chosen axis. All the following options will be calculated (for all frequencies and directions) and stored in a plain text .SHB output file:


Note:  The results are stored in an internal .SHB file which, if removed or deleted from your disk, will have to be recalculated.


Use the Hydrostatic Z force only when calculating check box to exclude any horizontal component of hydrostatic force on non-vertical structure panels from the Bending Moment and Shear force calculation.
