Optimum conditions for moorings, risers and marine operations
Improved confidence in deep water concepts
DeepC is a tool for mooring and riser design as well marine operations of offshore floating structures. It will perform mooring analysis separately or when including the coupled effects from risers and vessels. Furthermore, DeepC may be used for riser design where the risers are analyzed separately or when considering coupling effects. Marine operations may be simulated in the time domain for a study of motions and station keeping of multibody systems.
For deep water installations, the riser and mooring systems greatly influence the motions of the floater. The floater and slender structures constitute an integrated dynamic system responding to the environmental loading. Because coupling effects are consistently treated, there is no need for the engineers to make assumptions about the damping level (updated for each time step) which is crucial in a non-linear analysis accounting for slender structure restoring, damping and inertia forces. In other words, DeepC will increase the confidence level of riser and mooring analysis.
The riser, moorings and the environmental conditions are defined in DeepC while all other data are automatically applied from GeniE and HydroD. The results may be statistically post-processed and they may be inspected graphically or from animations. Furthermore, the results may be read in fatigue computations of the lines as well as code checking (DNV OSF201, ISO 13628-7, Von Miscs Stren)
