Sesam GeniE software The Sesam GeniE software is a software tool for designing and analyzing offshore and maritime structures made of beams and plates. Modelling, analysis and results processing are performed in the same graphical user interface. The use of concept technology makes the Sesam GeniE software highly efficient for integrating stability, loading, strength assessment and CAD exchange. All data are persistent enabling the engineers to do efficient iterative re-design of a structure. Sesam GeniE software for: Fixed structures The analysis – hydrodynamic as well as strength calculations – and evaluation of results are done within the Sesam GeniE software. The software is built for frequent changes in both structural and equipment layout – any modification performed on a concept level will give an automatic updated and consistent analysis model. Hydrodynamic design of floating structuresThe Sesam HydroD software is a tool for hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analysis. By integrating these tasks, significant cost savings may be achieved in the engineering phase since the same panel model may be used by one tool. Sesam HydroD software will perform compliance checks against statutory rules for stability including the importance of integrity of the deck tanks. Floating positions may be determined as a result of actual mass and buoyancy or from an automatic compartment filling to satisfy specified position. The Sesam DeepC software is a tool for mooring and riser design as well marine operations of offshore floating structures. It will perform mooring analysis separately or when including the coupled effects from risers and vessels. Furthermore, Sesam DeepC software may be used for riser design where the risers are analyzed separately or when considering coupling effects. Marine operations may be simulated in the time domain for a study of motions and station keeping of multibody systems.
