The design, modeling, and installation of today's offshore floating structural systems demands careful planning, analysis and simulation to ensure their successful delivery and installation in the field. Using hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analysis, you can simulate the loadout, transportation, lifting, floatout, and launch of major floating structures such as FPSOs, jackets, and floating platforms. Working in collaboration with Bentley's Offshore Structural Analysis and Design solution, you can reduce the risks during the installation delivery of these major structures.
Reducing the risks associated with the initial loadout then transportation and installation for offshore structures and platform designs demands accurate calculation and simulation to protect investments made in these substantial structural systems. The right tools to accurately analyze and predict the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic performance allow you to access the overall stability and motion characteristics with assurance before actual field installation. Simulating the lifting and lowering of offshore structures following fabrication also increases the safety and integrity of mechanical loading systems in the fabrication yard. Using hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analysis capabilities, you can plan and simulate the delivery and launch with complete confidence.
