The article presents an influence of foundations of slow-speed main engine body on the results of numerical
analysis of the engine dynamic stiffnesses and thermal deformations. The engine body is much stiffer than its
foundation pads and ship hull (double bottom) – boundary conditions of the engine. Especially for the high power,
marine engines, the correct model of the boundary conditions plays a key role during the analyses. Therefore,
modelling method of engine foundation (boundary conditions) of that kind of model is essential during the analyses.
During shaft line alignment and crankshaft springing analyses, knowledge of dynamic stiffnesses characteristics and
thermal displacements of radial (main) bearings is significant. Those data of marine main engine body are difficult
to estimate because of lack of available documentation and complicated shape of the engine and ship hull. The
article presents the methodology of the characteristics determination of the marine engine’s body as well as the
example of computations for a MAN B&W K98MC type engine (power: 40000 kW, revolutions: 94 rpm) mounted on
a 3000 TEU (twenty-foot container equivalent unit) container ship (length: 250 m). Numerical analyses were
performed with usage of Nastran software based on Finite Element Method. The FEM model of the engine
body comprised over 800 thousand degree of freedom.
