DNV
Sesam
DNV Sesam supports hydrodynamic and structural analysis for offshore and maritime assets.
On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.
Workflow ideas
Prepare a hydrodynamic model
Use the vessel geometry, loading basis and selected design condition. In the intended Sesam preview, prepare a hydrodynamic model; the visible result is a hull or system model with principal dimensions and compartments visible. Review coordinate system, displacement, openings and watertight intent before accepting or exporting it.
Transfer loads to structure
Start from the environmental case, analysis settings and operating assumptions. In the intended Sesam preview, transfer loads to structure; the visible result is hydrostatic, hydrodynamic or structural results tied to the vessel state. Review criteria, headings, periods, load transfer and solver validity before accepting or exporting it.
Review strength and fatigue
Begin with the compared design cases and reporting template. In the intended Sesam preview, review strength and fatigue; the visible result is a traceable performance, production or stability package. Review margins, units, condition identity and naval-architecture judgement before accepting or exporting it.
