Software for structural design and analysis of jacket structures

Design your jacket or jack-up

Sesam is a world-renowned structural engineering software tool for structural design analysis of offshore and maritime structures. Sesam for jackets provides structural analysis that includes the load effects from hydrodynamic analysis and non-linear pile/soil analysis. The results allow engineers to assess the structural integrity of an asset, whether this involves deflections, forces, stresses, code-check results or fatigue.

An efficient design iteration process

Structural analysis of jackets, jack-ups, subsea templates including their topside, flare-boom and module. From global beam models to detailed plate/beam models, to refined connections including curved shells
Concept modelling and automated processes in Sesam support your need for fast design iterations, removing the necessity of re-modelling to create a code-check report on a new structural analysis
The relevant loads are from structural and equipment weight, wave, current and wind loads, temperature, accelerations and applied loads like point mass and point/line/surface loads
Linear static and dynamic structural, eigenvalue, tension/compression only, linear buckling and P-delta analyses may be performed based on the Finite Element methodology. The loads from pile and soil come from an integrated non-linear pile/soil analysis
The dynamic analysis capabilities include stochastic (frequency-domain), spectral (time-domain) and irregular time-domain
The offshore code-check standards API/AISC, ISO/Eurocode, NORSOK/Eurocode are supported – the reporting may be graphical or tabular
A single model and workspace can be used for all phases from initial to final design, as well as for transportation, installation, modifications, repair and life extension
It is possible to import data from other FEA software or CAD systems, allowing you to re-use legacy files
