Your FEA software tool for innovation, flexibility and efficiency in marine and offshore structural engineering
Sesam is a world renowned offshore structural engineering software tool for design and analysis of fixed structures. It gives you the optimal basis for critical engineering decisions during the entire lifecycle of your asset, be it a topside, jacket, jack-up, or offshore wind turbine support structure.
Engineers are constantly looking for new solutions that offer faster design processes. The unique concept modelling in Sesam maintains connectivity between structural components and loads throughout design iterations, leading to efficient design optimization even with frequent or significant changes in the design process.
With Sesam you use one common model from the initial design phase through all design revisions to the final design of the structure. Later modifications, repairs and life extensions are based on the same model. This concept model, created by the Sesam module GeniE, can also be based on imported data from other CAD/CAE systems.
Other Sesam modules are used for wave load generation ( Wajac ), non-linear soil-pile structure analysis ( Splice ), linear static or dynamic finite element analysis ( Sestra ), ULS yield and buckling checks of beams/joints ( GeniE ) and plates (GeniE and Platework ), and fatigue analysis of beams ( Framework ) or plates/shells ( Stofat ). For life extension and assessment of extreme loads or damage, the GeniE concept model is easily exported to the module for progressive collapse analysis ( Usfos ).
Sesam's analysis technology, proven in the oil and offshore gas industry over the last 4-5 decades, is today being used in design and analysis of fixed offshore wind turbine (OWT) support structures.
