Title: Shim Plate Verification on BOP Overhead Crane STBD Rail

Ref:

Design Considerations:

The maximum force applied on the rail was based on Reaction Forces Report "G1435-N-RD-001"
from NOV, Load Case 205 on support F4. The Rail between the shims plates was considered as
beam fixed at both ends with uniform load over entire span.
