Abstract:Superstructure is a very important module in ship structure. In the process of shipbuilding, the integral lifting of superstructure is a very important step. The number and position of the hook and eye plate in the hoisting scheme will influence the stress and deformation of the structure. In this paper, the responses of the superstructure which is under its own gravity have been analyzed by using MSC.Patran\Nastran software, which are based on the three lifting schemes. We have compared the responses of the superstructure in the process of hoisting and selected the optimum scheme. The conclusions can be used for reference in the design of the later complete lifting scheme of superstructure.
