STRUCTURE
ANALYSIS
Structural analysis plays a pivotal role in the design, construction, and operation of FOWTs, providing insights into the behavior these complex offshore structures under dynamic environmental forces throughout their lifecycles.

Analysis Steps
Definition of design load cases
Design iterations
Selecting a combination of meteocean data and operational states of the FOWT based on design standards.
Optimization of the mooring system is typically performed with respect to number of lines and size of the lines.
Using multibody dynamics modelling coupled with hydrodynamics modelling to determine design loads.
Loads assessment
Structural analysis
Using FEM software to evaluate stresses and forces in the components’ structures and benchmark with design standards.
Past Project
Here in Offshore Structure and Mooring Engineering Lab, for structural analysis we focus on：
Semi-submersible Hull Optimization
Finite Element Analysis
Hull Detailed Design
