OWT-10 Modelling of floating offshore wind foundation
This course focuses on modelling of a floating offshore wind foundation for the purpose of hydrodynamic analysis and structural analysis.
Description
This course focuses on modelling of a floating offshore wind foundation for the purpose of hydrodynamic analysis and structural analysis.
GeniE is the modelling and mesh generating tool. Exercise in modelling of a semi-submersible type floating offshore wind foundation is included. The test static structural analysis is executed in Sestra and results are viewed in Xtract.
Learning objectives
The following topics will be covered:
- Curved geometry modelling
- Beams modelling
- Mesh generation and control
- Generate model for hydrodynamic analysis and structural analysis
- Run static analysis and present results
- Tips and tricks in using Geni
Target group
Structural engineers involved in design, analysis, or verification of floating offshore wind foundation.
Duration:
1 day
Prerequisite
No previous experience in the use of Sesam is required. Basic knowledge in FE analysis is required.
