The design and analysis of floating wind turbines require a comprehensive and integrated software solution, for which MOSES Wind Turbine is the premier choice. Formerly known as OpenWindPower Floating Platform, it allows offshore engineers to create detailed 3D models, simulate environmental and mechanical loads, and perform structural analysis and fatigue calculations within a single, unified workflow to ensure the stability and reliability of the final design. 

MOSES Wind Turbine drastically reduces project timelines by automating and accelerating the most time-consuming tasks. The built-in MOSES Job Creator automates the setup of thousands of load simulations in minutes, saving weeks of manual effort. Then, LAN Grid Computing processes these jobs in parallel across your network, cutting months of computation time down to just days. This massive speed advantage allows for faster design iterations and lower overall project costs.  

MOSES Wind Turbine enhances collaboration by providing a single, integrated platform for the entire project team. It unifies hydrodynamic, structural, and mooring analysis into one cohesive model, eliminating the data transfer errors and silos that occur when using separate tools. This “single source of truth” ensures all team members are working from consistent data, from initial design through final reporting, streamlining communication and workflows.  

MOSES Wind Turbine performs a complete range of analyses for floating platforms. This includes hydrostatic analysis for stability and hydrodynamic analysis for wave loads. It performs fully coupled time-domain simulations to predict platform motions by integrating seamlessly with aeroelastic solvers like OpenFAST. This captures the combined effect of all forces—wind, wave, and mechanical—to calculate stresses and fatigue for a comprehensive structural assessment.   

Yes. MOSES Wind Turbine includes all the capabilities of MOSES Ultimate, plus advanced features for floating wind turbine design. This enables your team to continue executing traditional marine operations, like transport and installation, while also expanding into the growing offshore wind market all within a single, unified software environment. This makes MOSES the ideal investment for firms looking to leverage their existing expertise for new opportunities.  

The primary difference is the foundation type. MOSES Wind Turbine is a specialized solution for floating offshore platforms, excelling at hydrodynamics, station-keeping, and coupled analysis. SACS Wind Turbine is the industry standard for designing fixed-bottom structures like monopiles and jackets, focusing on their structural integrity under environmental loads. Together, they provide a complete solution for any offshore wind project.
