Comprehensive Wave Analysis

Conduct detailed analysis of wave, wind, and current impacts on offshore structures like FPSOs and TLPs. Ansys Aqwa provides precise modeling of environmental forces, ensuring accurate predictions of structural responses under varying sea conditions.

Dynamic Response Simulation

Simulate time-domain responses of floating structures, including mooring lines and fenders. This feature models complex physical interactions, accounting for extreme conditions, slow-drift effects, and transient impacts, providing a robust tool for global performance assessment.

Advanced Hydrodynamic Diffraction

Perform 3D linear radiation and diffraction analysis with multiple interacting bodies, ensuring precise second-order wave force calculations. Suitable for both floating and fixed offshore structures, this approach supports a broad range of water depths, delivering accurate insights into structural behavior.

Structural Integration

Seamlessly integrate hydrodynamic forces and pressures into Ansys Mechanical finite element models, enabling detailed structural analysis and hull design. The process automatically handles mesh differences, ensuring smooth continuity between hydrodynamic and structural simulations.

Damage and Failure Analysis

Include damage scenarios such as mooring line failures in simulations to evaluate transient effects and validate designs under extreme conditions. Gain insights into potential failures and their impact on structural integrity.
