ABS FPI Plate Buckling (2024)

Automated Plate Buckling Assessment for Floating Production Installations

Run buckling and ultimate strength checks in full compliance with ABS Rules for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations (January 2024). Integrated directly into SDC Verifier’s environment, the standard ensures accurate verification of structural plates in offshore systems based on Subsection 5A-3-4.

About Standard

ABS FPI Plate Buckling (2024) is implemented according to the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations, January 2024. It covers Subsection 5A-3-4/5.3 – Plate Panels and Subsection 5A-3-4/7.3 – Rectangular Plates.

This rule-based assessment is applied to ship-type offshore structures, ensuring compliance with structural design requirements for buckling and ultimate strength. The implementation supports engineers in performing direct checks on plate elements, with full support for material data, custom stress options, and panel geometry recognition.
