For engineers performing detailed design, this is the most accurate method available with an associated higher computational cost. It may be used to investigate which effects of non-linear hydrodynamics are relevant for the model and serve as a baseline to determine if the faster Load and Response Reconstruction methods can be used.
A more cost-effective method than the Time Domain Direct Load Generation method, which is also applicable for detailed design stages and down to (pre)FEED stages. With its associated capabilities and assumptions, it can be used to investigate the effect of dynamics on the structural response and both fatigue and ultimate limit state results.
The most computationally efficient time domain method available in the market. This method can be used from (pre)FEED and all the way to detailed design for structures that are not dynamically sensitive.
One of the reasons we like using Bladed and Sesam together is because we can bring our initial foundation design closer to our final and more refined design, earlier on, meaning there's less risk.

We'll help you hit the ground running and continue to support you to deliver:
Yes, you can trial a reduced version of Sesam to learn how to model a structure, add loads, run structural analysis, perform code checking and re-design. All usage shall be of non-commercial nature.
Yes, academic licenses are offered to universities on highly favourable terms. Academic licences are to be used for educational and non-commercial research projects only.
DNV offers department or university licences only (not on an individual student's). Please liaise with your professor and contact us to discuss.
We've created three software packages based on different capabilities needed to design fixed offshore wind foundations.
Prices for the packages and modules included can be found in the product brochure.
