There are numerous operational and conditional challenges related to developing offshore turbine foundations

It requires advanced computing capabilities and regulatory assurance to optimize performance, control costs and to meet industry standards.

Sesam and Bladed

Software for supporting the development of fixed offshore wind turbine foundations

To meet the requirements and overcome the challenges faced when developing conceptual and detailed design for offshore foundations, DNV has developed the software Sesam and Bladed. The combination of these two software offers a complete, intuitive and user-friendly process for the design of turbines, in addition to ultimate strength and fatigue analysis of offshore wind turbine substructures.

It provides a tailor-made solution for structural strength analysis of fixed offshore wind support structures, such as wind turbine jackets, monopiles and substations. 

Great for:

  • Design and analysis of offshore wind turbine foundations 
  • Structural strength analysis
  • Fatigue analysis (FLS) 
  • Strength analysis (ULS)
  • Earthquake analysis
  • Boat impact analysis

We have one go-to tool for structural analysis, both for bottom-fixed foundations and floating foundations for offshore wind.
