In SACS Collapse program user is able to consider Ship Indentation Curves to be used during energy absorption calculations. The Ship Indentation Curve is set in the columns 27-30 of the IMPACT card.
Five pre defined curves are available:
- DNV1 - Bow Impact from DNV TN A 202.
- DNV2 - Broad Side Impact (D = 1.5m) from DNV TN A 202.
- DNV3 - Broad Side Impact (D = 10.0m) from DNV TN A 202.
- DNV4 - Stern Impact (D = 1.5m) from DNV TN A 202.
- DNV5 - Stern Impact (D = 10.0m) from DNV TN A 202.
User may also input a user defined curve by using the SHPIND card. In this case the same name used for the Ship Indentation Curve must be input in the columns 27-30 of the IMPACT line.
Figure below shows an example of an input for a user defined ship indentation curve:
