OWT-02 Structural analysis of fixed offshore wind support structures (monopile)

The course focuses on structural analysis of fixed offshore wind support structures for conceptual and detailed analysis

Description:

The course focuses on structural analysis of monopile type of fixed offshore wind support structures. You will use GeniE for pre-processer and Splice linearize a non-linear pile-soil foundation, perform an Eigenvalue & dynamic analysis. Use Framework for carrying out fatigue analysis due to waves as well as due to (cyclic) damage equivalent loads.GeniE is used to perform a ULS beam code check based on extreme loads. You will also use Sesam Wind Manager to carry out fatigue and ultimate strength analyses in the time-domain, using time series of wave and wind loads, using a sequential/superelement analysis approach and using an integrated design approach.

Learning objectives:

  • Linearizing a non-linear pile-soil foundation 
  • Eigenvalue analysis of Monopile structures 
  • Deterministic fatigue analysis using wave loads 
  • Direct Deterministic fatigue analysis using (cyclic) damage equivalent loads 
  • Ultimate strength analysis using extreme loads 
  • Fatigue analysis using time series of wave and wind loads using rainflow counting 
  • Ultimate strength analysis in the time domain 
  • Time domain analysis using a sequential, superelement and integrated analysis approach 
  • Conversion of a superelement and wave loads or an integrated model from Sesam to wind turbine tools, conversion of interface and/or member loads from wind turbine tools into Sesam

Target group:

Structural engineers involved in design, analysis, or verification of fixed offshore wind support structures.

Prerequisite:

It is required that the participants have attended SE-01 Concept based FE modelling and analysis using Sesam - Introductory or have similar experience.
