FLS analysis

This tutorial uses a floating OWT structure (EMULF Delta Floater) to perform a time history FLS analysis using the Response Reconstruction method. Fatigue screening is performed to identify areas with high fatigue damage in the model, and a fatigue hot spot analysis is performed according to DNV-RP-C203.

The tutorial contains the following steps:

• Setting up the model and fatigue hot spot and screening data in GeniE
• Setting up the input for the precompute step to calculate unit-load, unit-motion and unit-wave structure responses in HydroD and executing the precompute step in Sesam Wind Manager
• Setting up the design load cases and performing the reconstruction step and FLS analysis in Sesam Wind Manager, using results from a previously executed coupled analysis in Sima
• Inspecting results in tables in Sesam Wind Manager and visualising the results on the 3D model in Sesam Insight

This tutorial uses a floating OWT structure (OC4) to perform a time history FLS analysis using the Direct Load Generation method. Fatigue screening is performed to identify areas with high fatigue damage in the model, and a fatigue hot spot analysis is performed according to DNV-RP-C203.

The tutorial contains the following steps:

• Setting up the model and fatigue hot spot and screening data in GeniE
• Setting up the design load cases and performing the FLS analysis in Sesam Wind Manager, including running the load generation and structural analysis, using results from a previously executed coupled analysis in either Bladed or Sima
• Inspecting results in tables in Sesam Wind Manager and visualising the results on the 3D model in Sesam Insight
