Archon Engineering helped a Naval Architect by providing detailed analysis for a removable mooring bitt for a large research vessel. In order to provide additional deck space while at sea, the bitt must be removed after leaving port. The Finite Element Analysis was used to evaluate the stresses in the mooring bitt, its bolting and the ship's structure to which the bitt was attached when loaded to design conditions. The analysis performed was a static linear stress analysis using a combination of plate and brick elements. Loads were input at design magnitudes in the various design directions.
