Description
The course focuses on direct hydrodynamic analysis and strength analysis methods, global structural analysis and spectral fatigue calculations. You will go throug the process of carrying out global analysis with calculation of loads using GeniE, HydroD, Wadam and Sestra. Ultimate strength, local analysis and stochastic fatigue calculations are covered with practical examples using Cutres, Xtract, Puls, Submod and Stofat. The course focuses on practical use of the software tools in the analysis workflow.
Learning objectives
You will learn how to perform all necessary steps of assessing the structural integrity of an FPSO.
Target group
Structural engineers working with design of FPSOs.
