Cost-Effective Computer Simulation for the Offshore and Marine Industry

Computer simulations have been widely used by the offshore and marine industry, but they typically use different software to simulate different components of a single operational scenario. For example, the tool can be used for the analysis of wave loads of a moored structure in ice infested areas, eliminating the need for analyzing wave load, mooring tension, and ice loads, separately. This project looks to examine how multi-physics, multi-phase simulation software can improve the safety of personnel and assets by simulating complex marine scenarios in an integrated approach that is currently not available.
