The participants will also learn how to create panel models used by the Wasim program.
Topside design
This course focuses on multiple (alternative) analyses, beam code checking and re-design of topside structures. Reporting of code checking results is also covered. The loads are assumed to be manually applied. The main tools are GeniE and Sestra.
Jacket design
This course focuses on analysis of jackets including the environment (hydrodynamic environment and pile-soil foundation). Concept modelling of the jacket and environment is done in GeniE, wave load analysis in Wajac, non-linear pile-soil analysis in Splice, linear static analysis in Sestra and, finally, code checking of beams and tubular joints in GeniE. Fatigue analysis in Framework is also briefly presented.
Progressive collapse analysis
This course covers ultimate strength and progressive collapse analysis of steel space frame structures using Usfos. Focus is put on plastic limit state analysis of jackets subjected to accidental loads (ship collision, dropped objects, fire and explosion) and extreme environmental loads (wave, wind and current).
Wind induced fatigue
This course covers gust wind and vortex shedding induced fatigue analysis of beam structures. The main tool is Framework. Structure modelling is done in GeniE and computation of static wind loads in Wajac.
Installation analysis of jackets
This course covers installation analysis of jacket structures. Focus is on launching and upending analysis based on Installjac. Preparation of the jacket model in GeniE, with respect to the installation analysis and subsequent structural analysis, is also addressed.
Semi-submersible analysis
This course focuses on design and analysis of semi-submersibles. Modelling the structures for FE analysis and the panel model for hydrodynamic analysis is done in GeniE. The hydrodynamic environment modelling is done in HydroD and the hydrodynamic analysis in Wadam. Hydrodynamic loads are transferred to the FE model for structural analysis in Sestra. Hydrodynamic and structural results are presented in Xtract. Code checking beams is done in GeniE and stiffened plates in Platework. Sub-modelling using Submod and fatigue analysis of plates/shells in Stofat are also briefly discussed.
FPSO rule check
This course focuses on hull girder strength of plates and stiffeners according to DNV Offshore Standard OS-C-102 with focus on cross sectional analysis and fatigue.
FPSO hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analysis
This course focuses on using HydroD for hydrostatic analysis and stability checking of an FPSO. Furthermore, hydrodynamic analysis in the frequency domain by use of HydroD including Wadam is covered. Calculation of a short and long term statistics using Postresp is covered as well.
FPSO cargo hold analysis
The course is an introduction to programs for modelling and FE analyses of FPSOs according to the DNV Offshore Standard OS-C102.
Coupled motion analysis and riser design of offshore floating installations
This 3 day course introduces the participants to the DeepC tool for carrying out both coupled floater motion analysis of individual lines in time domain. Modelling of the slender structure, set-up and execution of the analysis, as well as postprocessing the analysis results will be covered.
Riser analysis
This 2 days course introduces the participants to the DeepC tool for carrying out riser analysis in time domain without the effects from a coupled analysis.
Mooring lines analysis
This 2 day course introduces the participants to the Mimosa tool for frequency domain analysis of mooring lines. Learn how to analyse mooring lines. Following topics will be covered:
Simulation of marine operations
This 2 day course introduces the participants to the Simo tool for simulation of marine operations, e.g. floatover installation or deckmating. Learn how to simulate marine operations like e.g. floatover and lifting analysis. Following topics will be covered:
Sub-modelling analysis combined with plate/shell fatigue analysis
This course introduces the participants to the sub-modelling technique which allows a refined analysis of a detail of the whole structure. Displacements extracted from an analysis of the whole structure are subjected to the sub-model boundaries together with local loads on the sub-model.
FPSO global strength and spectral fatigue analysis
This course focuses on direct hydrodynamic and strength analysis methods, global structural analysis and spectral fatigue calculations.
