Overview

The challenges are high in the marine industry. Large models are usually very demanding in terms of simulation setup and calculation time and this require very robust and accurate solver that can handle millions of degree of freedom (DOF).

Benefits

Shorter project development cycles
Reduced development costs
Managed and reduced risk
Improved quality
Checks for design flaws and problem areas
Tools for exploring alternative designs that promote innovation

Applications

Structural systems: Offshore platforms, topside structures, floating units, subsea structures and underwater vessel modeling

Pipe lines: Seabed pipelines and manifolds, stability, interaction with soil, upheaval buckling

High pressure & temperature: Analysis of high strain packers used in high pressure, high temperature environments for sealing off production tubing and casing, preventing up and down movement of tubing, and providing separation of multiple producing zones

Dynamic: Comprehensive dynamic response with nonlinear force variation studies of centralizers used to support tools as they passed through oil wells
