Coupled motion analysis of offshore floating installations
This 3 day course introduces the participants to the DeepC tool for carrying out both coupled floater motion analysis of individual lines in time domain. Modelling of the slender structure, set-up and execution of the analysis, as well as postprocessing the analysis results will be covered. For a dedicated riser analysis, reference is made to SE-19 Riser analysis.
Riser analysis
This 3 day course introduces the participants to the DeepC tool for carrying out riser analysis in time domain. Learn how to analyse marine risers. Following topics will be covered:
Mooring lines analysis

Simulation of marine operations
This 2 day course introduces the participants to the Simo tool for simulation of marine operations, e.g. floatover installation or deckmating. Learn how to simulate marine operations like e.g. floatover and lifting analysis. Following topics will be covered:
Sub-modelling analysis combined with plate/shell fatigue analysis
This course introduces the participants to the sub-modelling technique which allows a refined analysis of a detail of the whole structure. Displacements extracted from an analysis of the whole structure are subjected to the sub-model boundaries together with local loads on the sub-model. Such local sub-model loads may be hydrodynamic loads. A sub-model analysis facilitates stochastic (spectral) fatigue analysis of a plate/shell detail.
Advanced modelling and design iterations in Sesam
This is an advanced course to Sesam focusing on shell structures and models for hydrodynamic and structural analysis. Main focus will be on modelling in GeniE, but there will also be a session on integrated analysis including stability and hydrodynamic computations involving both HydroD and Sestra. Results processing including stochastic fatigue are included by use of Xtract and Stofat. Lectures and exercises on these topics are included.
