Engineering Resilience: A Lifecycle Guide to Smarter Offshore Structures with Simulation
Master marine complexity with SACS and MOSES
The offshore energy sector faces immense complexity, risk, and cost at every phase of the asset’s lifecycle. You are under pressure to deliver larger, more complex offshore structures on faster timelines while adhering to strict regulations and ambitious sustainability goals. Harsher environmental conditions driven by climate change make robust, resilient designs critical. Furthermore, operational challenges like departmental silos lead to delays, errors, miscommunication, and high-stakes costly errors.
This complimentary e-book, “Engineering Resilience: A Lifecycle Guide to Smarter Offshore Structures with Simulation,” gives you the confidence and data-driven foresight to manage resilient, high-stakes offshore assets smarter and safer. Simulation is a strategic guide that helps you reduce risk, improve performance, and make data-driven decisions across the entire lifecycle. This approach ensures your offshore assets are resilient from the ground up.
In this free eBook, you’ll learn:
- Design & Analysis: Engineering Resilience from the Start.
- Fabrication: Validating construction plans and optimizing workflows from digital model to offshore reality.
- Transportation & Installation: Safer, more efficient execution by digitally modeling vessel dynamics and weather conditions.

SACS: Advanced Structural Analysis for Offshore Resilience
SACS is purpose-built for offshore structures, providing the advanced analysis tools needed to quickly model, analyze, and design fixed offshore structures, resulting in reduced engineering time and material costs.
- Comprehensive Offshore-Specific Analysis: SACS goes beyond standard structural software by allowing you to simulate complex, real-world forces like waves, wind, and earthquakes, and model how structures interact with the seabed.
- Built-In Code Checking: SACS ensures code compliance automatically by supporting a wide range of international offshore design codes, checking structural models during analysis, and guiding corrections in real time. This capability cuts manual compliance checking time by up to 50%.
- Automated Workflows and Interoperability: SACS automates repetitive tasks and shares data easily across design tools, cutting weeks of manual set-up time down to just 2 days and reducing analysis time by more than 50%.
MOSES: Mastering Marine Complexity with Advanced Hydrodynamic Simulation
MOSES is advanced hydrostatic and hydrodynamic simulation software trusted by offshore engineers and naval architects for the efficient design and installation of floating systems.
- Advanced Hydrodynamic Modeling: MOSES is designed for all types of marine operations and floating platforms, delivering superior accuracy in modeling complex marine environments.
- Smart Language for Flexible Analysis: Utilizing a rich, built-in scripting language, you can define every step of a simulation, automate repetitive tasks, and tailor simulations to specific project needs, cutting modeling and analysis time by up to 40%.
- Predictive Power with MOSES Solver: The MOSES Solver engine runs detailed simulations to predict how offshore structures respond to waves, wind, and other ocean forces, helping you predict how structures will move in real ocean conditions and improving design safety by finding problems before they happen.
- Seamless SACS Integration: MOSES seamlessly connects with SACS, allowing you to combine offshore structural analysis with marine operation simulations in one workflow, which can reduce design and simulation cycles by up to 50% and lower engineering costs.
