Buckling Analysis of EMULF Delta Floater Using the Time Domain Response Reconstruction Method (FOWT)
This is a tutorial covering a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) structure time history buckling analysis. The plate verification is done according to the DNV RP-C201 using the stiffener capacity model therein referred to as SCM2. This tutorial covers the use of the Time Domain Response Reconstruction method.
The following versions (or higher) of official Sesam applications are required to complete the tutorial:
- GeniE 8.12
- HydroD 9.0
- Wadam 10.4
- Sestra 10.20
- Sesam Core 5.1.
Time domain plate buckling of a simple plate model
Date: 20 August 2024Tutorial
This tutorial shows how to set up buckling check of a simple plate model with girders and stiffeners and a short time-varying load, to then perform a buckling check of the stiffeners according to the stiffener capacity model referred to as SCM2 in DNV-RP-C201.
The tutorial contains the following steps:
- Setting up the model, loading and capacity model in GeniE
- Performing the structural analysis and buckling check using Sesam Core (including Sestra) and inspecting the results
