Common challenges in design
The importance of the Sesam design loop

40-60% of engineering time often spent in evaluation
How fast can you do it over again?

Closing the design loop our strength

Efficient data transfer from initial modelling through analysis, results processing and code checking
- How long time does it take from modelling to first result?
Efficient member code check iterations

- What is the effect of modifying a section or code check parameters without re-running complete analysis?
Efficient update of model based on code check iterations

- How long time does it take to re-generate a code check-report based on a full re-run of model and analysis
How can Sesam help you Making a model in GeniE Structure
Structure modelling
Easy to facilitate the range from small to large and complex
GeniE uniqueness structure modelling

Always a consistent concept model made for frequent design changes
- Analysis models (FEM) derived from the concept model - Beams and plates always connected, can be disconnected by use of s.el. technique
GeniE uniqueness - combined beam/shell models

Faster modelling
- Stiffeners selected from libraries - No need for calculation and evaluation of effective flange - No lumping of loads - No doubts model structure as is - Always a consistent topology
Faster and easier re-analysis and optimization

- Easy change of beam profiles from libraries - Plate thickness changed without changing properties for all stiffeners - Easy to change geometry, stiffener arrangement and other properties - Easy to add new stiffeners or other details (brackets, holes etc.)
More accurate results

- No simplified assumptions on effective flange and lumping of loads - Better visual verification of model and results

Parametric modelling define variables in script files
4.23E07
5.E07

Same system offshore and maritime
- Fixed structures, semis, FPSOs, Spar, TLP - Tankers, containership, bulk, +++

Combine detailed models in a global model Beam
Plates
FE beam
FE shell

Local models
- Easy to go from global to many local models all are based on the same concept model
How can Sesam help you Making a model in GeniE Loads
Load application
Easy to include load sources from structural mass (gravity and accelerations), equipments, manually defined loads, rule based loads (compartment loads) and temperature loads
GeniE uniqueness load application

Easy to define compartment loads
- Content and filling degree is enough
GeniE uniqueness load application

Acceleration loads multiple choices
- Constant and varying acceleration different accelerations on various parts of structure
Lower level loads from mass x acceleration (x & z-dir)

Topsides/modules on jackets or floaters

Topside on Jackets
- All is done inside GeniE
- Focus of this presentation
Topside on Floaters
- Opt. 1 - Integrated: Results from HydroD (hydrodynamic frequency or time domain analysis) imported into GeniE - Opt. 2 - No load transfer: Accelerations and deflections are computed in HydroD and used as basis for load-cases in GeniE
Floaters frequency domain

Waves give deformations and stresses in topsides and modules
Floaters frequency domain

Waves give deformations and stresses in topsides and modules
- These must be converted to deterministic before import to GeniE - Our utility tool Prepost is used for this purpose
Floaters optionally no automatic load transfer

Deformations and accelerations used to define load cases in GeniE
- Accelerations constant or centripetal (from HydroD) - Deformations from global structural analysis (used as prescribed displacements in GeniE)
Sp1: 2mm Sp2: 3mm Sp3: 5mm Sp4: 2mm

Centripetal Acceleration

Viewing results in plug-in component for online presentation purposes
Demo case Deformations at selected joint

The selected joint will be converted to a shell model
- Beam model: Max deformation is 3.6 mm

The joint is now a shell model part of the global model
- Combined beam and shell model: Max deformation is 3.6 mm

Consistency between beam and shell elements
Demo case The results

Viewing results in plug-in component for online presentation purposes
Demo case speed!

Question becomes how long time does it take to convert the beam joint to a shell model and re-run analysis?
1 day 1 hour 30 min? 5 min? 4 min?

- ..and not using a predefined special purpose build script for this case.

How can Sesam help you First assessment in GeniE
Efficient engineering typical steps

First assessment
- Forces, stresses and deflections
Code checking
- Check against prescriptive standards
Member re-design
- Evaluate the effect of modifying section properties or code check parameters - Often many attempts depends on the engineers experience
Design iteration
- A complete re-run of all to document the redesign
Beam forces and stresses

Code checking of stiffened panels

Create panels
- Panels are independent of analysis and finite element mesh
Three different options to define panels

- Min Box finds the smallest idealised rectangular panel possible enclosing the possibly nonrectangular structural region - Max Area Moment is an alternative algorithm finding the major axis based on calculation of area moment of inertia of the surface. This algorithm will also work for irregular panel shapes - CSR Tank Default is the algorithm usually used when doing a CSR Tank (PULS) code check
Min Box
Max Area Moment

Code checking of stiffened panels ships and offshore

Code checking according to PULS (DNV RP-C201.2)
- Linear and non-linear
Code checking of stiffened panels - offshore

Yield check of plates based on membrane stress
- Includes a safety factor S
