New fast time domain simulation methods for floating wind substructure design

Learn how the new time domain methods in Sesam allow you to tackle the challenging time-domain structural analyses of the floater in just minutes instead of hours.

As the offshore wind industry advances, the operation in deeper waters require more complex structures. This increase in complexity also impacts computational models, making them larger and costlier. 

Traditional time domain methods for floating offshore wind substructures are often very computationally expensive and time consuming, which is a problem when hundreds or thousands of design load cases are required to be simulated.  

In this webinar, we will introduce two innovative time domain methods designed to accelerate the design process for floating offshore wind substructures. Learn how these new methods address industry challenges, delivering a balance of flexibility, accuracy, and computational efficiency to meet the evolving needs of floating offshore wind development.

Agenda

  • Overview of the time domain methods and how they support each design phase 
  • Introduction to Time Domain Load Reconstruction method  
  • Introduction to Time Domain Response Reconstruction method 
  • Post-processing: How to perform FLS and ULS checks 
  • On-going development plan and what is coming next 
  • Demonstration of the new methods 
  • Q&A session

Presenters: 

Håkon Berg, Principal Engineer in DNV 

Wenzhe Zhang, Senior Technical Support Engineer in DNV 

Dates and times: 

17th of September 9:00-10:00 am CEST
