to meet the growing demand for software solutions for offshore structures
This three-day HydroD and Wadam public training was successfully held at the DNV Academy in Shanghai 12-14 June. It was arranged due to the growing demand for the software solution of offshore structure.
The instructor, Torgeir Vada, DNV Software Senior Principal Software Engineer, in the middle (with a tie) with the course participants.
The course was directed at both new users and the more experienced users who had not yet attended a formal training course. Wadam is a general hydrodynamic analysis program for calculating wave-structure interaction for fixed and floating structures of arbitrary shape. It is the ideal tool for semi-submersibles, TLPs, FPSO’s, spars, and gravity based structures. A total of 17 people participate in the training, representing the following companies:
- Shanghai Jiao Tong University
- Marine Design and Research Institute
- Jiangsu University of Science and Technology
- Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Corp.
- Bohai Shipbuilding Heavy Ind. Co. Ltd.
- China National Offshore Oil Corporation Research Center
- China Ship Design & Research Center Beijing Office
- China Ship Design & Research Center Dalian Branch Office
- Qingdao Jieneng Rig Manufacturing Company Ltd.
The course covered all areas of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analysis for offshore structures, including stability calculation, global analysis, short-term statistics, load transfer and long-term statistics.
During the course, the participants got to practice and apply their new knowledge of the software through extensive hands-on training in the workshops. In addition, the helpful discussions with the DNV Software Senior Principal Software Engineer, Torgeir Vada, helped all the participants to get their problems solved and have much in-depth knowledge about the software.
On the last day of the course, all the participants received their certification successfully. DNV Software will arrange this kind of public training in China frequently according to the demand in the market.
