WORKSHOP 14
BUCKLING OF A SUBMARINE
PRESSURE HULL
NAS120, Workshop 14, November 2003 WS14-1

Problem Description
A submarine pressure hull is modeled by plate and bar
elements.
Check the pressure hull for buckling at an operating depth of
1000 ft which is equivalent to an external pressure of 445 psi.

Workshop Objectives
Create groups based on property sets.
Run a linear buckling analysis.

Suggested Exercise Steps
1. Create a new database and name it submarine.db.
2. Import the MSC.Nastran input file pressure_hull.bdf.
3. Create groups based on property sets.
4. Post only the center pressure shell section.
5. Apply boundary conditions.
6. Post the entire pressure shell.
7. Apply an external pressure of 445 psi to the pressure shell.
8. Run a linear buckling analysis. Request the first 5 roots (buckled
modes).
9. Read the xdb file into MSC.Patran.
10. Post all the groups.
11. Plot the buckled mode shapes and identify which part of the pressure
hull is buckling for each mode.
