Are you aware that classification societies most likely will not to accept stress results from a triangular mesh? Looking at your example model entire ship is meshed with triangular elements..
Thanks for the comment. Yes, we are. This is discussed in the course. Indeed, most classification societies usually request the models to be meshed with quadrilaterals. However, you can always try to justify meshing with triangular elements if you mesh enough (smaller element sizes) in the areas of interest because at the end you will have the same number of nodes. As said, this is discussed in the course. Although it is difficult to see in the video, you can see quadrilateral elements on it, for example in minutes 1:36 and 1:46. Many thanks!
