Description of the four-year development of Skylab analytical programs, mathematical model complexity, and vibration and load analyses associated with the docking/latching maneuver. Examples are shown where coarse models produced loads in excess of structural capability. However, subsequent model refinement lowered the loads to the point where redesign was not required. A summary of experience gained over a four-year period is presented in the conclusions.
