OpenWindPower Floating Platform

The strength to deliver renewable energy

OpenWindPower Floating Platform

Explore design alternatives for safe, cost effective floating wind farm structures with OpenWindPower Floating Platform. Save time with comprehensive automated tools for determining hydrodynamic, aerodynamic and structural loading. Reduce runtime by distributing MOSES frequency and time domain analyses across multiple cores, either on a single machine or across a local network grid. Improve workflow by using the superior structural code checking in SACS to post-process the MOSES calculated time domain loads contained within a common solution file.

Capabilities

Model Floating Platforms
- Create complex 3D models for any platform using wizards and interactive sketch capabilities. Utilize flexible data import, mesh modeling, and automated curve and surface fitting capabilities to quickly generate models for the analysis of new or existing platforms. Systematically explore design alternatives by making measured changes to your models with easy-to-use features. Apply transformations to increase the productivity of your initial design process.
Analyze floating systems
- Automate analyses using the MOSES simulation language to define environmental conditions, specify mooring configurations with the powerful MOSES Connectors, and run the integrated solvers in a unified environment. Ensure system response is within defined limits over a range of operating conditions.
Integrate with aeroelastic wind turbine solvers
- Optimize the interaction between the floating platform and the wind turbine through the MOSES interface with DNV GL's Bladed. Export the floating platform's hydrodynamic database from MOSES via the ubiquitous WAMIT file format. Automate the import of thousands of Bladed load cases for complete MOSES time domain analyses, accounting for the wind-induced mechanical loading on the turbine.
Automate multiple analyses across a local network grid
- Save time by executing multiple MOSES analyses simultaneously across the available cores on a single machine, or by distributing to the available nodes on a local area network, with the Bentley Analysis Service.
Ensure compliance to offshore design codes
- Ensure structural compliance using built-in checking. Filter results for critical conditions. Optimize design and configuration for compliance to numerous current and past international codes, including API, AISC, EC, ISO, DNV, and Norsok. Deliver compliance documentation.
