Floating structure design software for hydrodynamic and finite element analysis of floating and gravity-based structures
Sesam is the market-leading software for hydrostatic, hydrodynamic and strength analyses of ships and floating offshore structures. With Sesam we help naval architects and engineers working with floating structure design and modification efficiently produce high quality hydrodynamic analyses with automatic load transfer to give an accurate prediction of resulting deformations and stresses. It is also possible to do intact and damaged stability analysis in accordance with common Codes of Practice.
Sesam is used in design and analysis of all types of floating structures, including barges, FPSOs, semi-submersibles, TLPs, spar buoys and gravity-based structures.
Our integrated solution for floating structures uses the Sesam module HydroD for stability and hydrodynamic analysis . HydroD is the leading software for analysis of all kinds of floating structures. HydroD offers both stability analysis, frequency domain analysis and time domain analysis, all based on one common model, fully integrated with finite element analysis (FEA). Sesam's tool for modelling and post-processing, GeniE , provides efficient modelling and fast evaluation results.
The Sestra module is used to determine the static or dynamic structural response under the applied hydrodynamic inertia and gravity loads. Coupled analysis with moorings, risers and wind turbine can be completed with the module Sima .
Sesam's design and analysis technology, proven in the oil and offshore gas industry over the last five decades, is today also being used in floating wind turbine design and analysis .
