Hydrodynamic analysis of offshore floaters

This course introduces the participants to the Sesam programs for wave load analysis of offshore floaters based on the frequency domain methodology

Description

This course introduces the participants to the Sesam programs for wave load analysis of offshore floaters based on the frequency domain methodology

Learning scope

The following topics will be covered:

Perform global hydrodynamic response analysis
Transfer loads to structural analysis
Compute short- and long-term statistics
Animation of results

The exercise is based on a semi-submersible or FPSO.

Target group

Naval architects involved in conceptual studies and detailed engineering of any offshore floating structure.

CLASSROOM TRAINING AND ONLINE TRAINING

Duration:

2 days

Prerequisite:

It is required that the participants are familiar with hydrodynamic analysis. Since this course does not cover the creation of models used in hydrodynamic analysis it is beneficial if the participants have knowledge in GeniE, as covered in either of the courses SE-01 Concept based FE modelling and analysis using Sesam - Introductory or SE-04 Concept based FE modelling of shell structures - Advanced.
