STAAD.Offshore currently offers these features:
- State-of-the-art graphical environment that uses well established standard Microsoft Windows functionality and familiar layouts, enhanced with clear modes and pages to simplify the engineering workflow.
- Concurrent engineering-based user environment for model development, analysis, design, visualization, and verification.
- Full range of offshore load generation capability including wave and transport load generation, which can be used in STAAD.Pro for analysis, including static, P-delta, pushover, response spectrum, time history, cable (linear and non-linear), buckling and steel and concrete design.
- Object-oriented intuitive 2D/3D graphical model generation.
- The wave forces on every member in the STAAD.Pro model can be calculated for a jacket structure for a wave approaching at any user specified angle.
- The transport load module calculates the inertia forces due to motion accelerations, consisting of any combination of the 3-translational and 3-rotational degrees of freedom. Each degree of freedom has an associated phase angle relative to the center of rotation, which defines the wave crest position for the associated maximum amplitude.
- The wave forces are calculated from Morison’s equation using either stream functions, Stokes 5th Order, or Airy linear theory to compute the particle velocities and accelerations, or a user defined grid of velocities and accelerations.
