OWT-15 Structural Analysis of floating offshore wind foundation in Time domain

Description: 

This course focuses on how to complete strength analysis and strength assessment of FOWT foundation using SESAM software package. The following modules will be used. 

GeniE –Preparing global FOWT foundation model file for hydro dynamic analysis and sub-model for critical connection. 

Sestra - Execute dynamic time domain analysis-ULS. 

Xtract-Result postprocess of yielding evaluation and review strength results 

PULS-Buckling check for structural component. 

SESAM Core-Execute time domain fatigue assessment. 

HydroD-Generate load transfer input files for SWIM  

Sesam Wind Manager (SWIM)-Perform time domain fatigue analyses for FOWT 

Learning Objectives: 

The following topics will be covered: 

• Perform time domain structural FE analysis using Sestra  
• Strength evaluation of yielding and buckling using Xtract and GeniE plate code check with PULS  
• Time domain fatigue Screen analysis using SESAM Core 
• Create Sub model and extract displacement from global result in GeniE 
• Define hot spot and export JSON file for Sesam Core in GeniE 
• Generate input files of Wasim load transfer analysis in HydroD 

• Set up time domain fatigue analyses with SWIM 

Target group: 

Structural engineers involved in design, analysis, or verification of floating offshore wind foundation. 

Duration: 

2 days  

Prerequisite:

Previous experience in the use of Sesam is required. Basic knowledge in FE analysis is required.
