Problem:

How to model a vertical vessel for transportation in horizontal position?

Solution:

To make the calculation of a vertical vessel during the transportation horizontally, you may follow this workflow:

- run the calculation of the vessel in its vertical position

- convert results as input data (Menu/Execute/Convert Results as Input Data)

- save the model under a new name

- switch the vertical support to saddle support (Insert/Support...)

- The vessel is now in horizontal position

- remove all unnecessary load combinations

- add the transportation (aka towing) load combination from the help contents

- run the calculation
