Deepwater Riser Installation Analysis With Orcaflex (DRIA) Level 1 & Level 2

Description

DRIA Level 1 is a comprehensive training program that focuses on the analysis and simulation of deepwater riser installations using the Orcaflex software. Participants gain an understanding of the fundamental concepts, methodologies, and considerations involved in deepwater riser installation analysis.

DRIA Level 1 covers a wide range of topics related to deepwater riser installation, including riser design, dynamic response analysis, installation vessel selection, installation methodologies, and risk assessment.

Participants in DRIA Level 1 learn to utilize the Orcaflex software for modeling and simulating the installation of risers in deepwater environments. They gain insights into the various parameters and inputs required for accurate analysis and understanding of riser behavior during installation.

DRIA Level 2 builds upon the foundational knowledge gained in Level 1 and delves deeper into advanced topics and techniques for deepwater riser installation analysis. Participants learn advanced modeling techniques, complex installation scenarios, and specialized analysis methodologies.

Both DRIA Level 1 and Level 2 combine theoretical knowledge with practical applications. Participants engage in hands-on exercises, case studies, and discussions to deepen their understanding of the analysis techniques, interpretation of results, and practical considerations associated with deepwater riser installation.

ORCAFLEX uses a Finite Element Method (FEM) to simulate the behavior of subsea structures. This method divides the structure into a series of smaller elements, each with its own characteristics, such as mass, stiffness, and damping. ORCAFLEX then simulates the behavior of each element over time, considering the forces acting on it, to predict the overall behavior of the structure.

Deepwater Riser Installation Analysis With Orcaflex (DRIA) Level 1 & Level 2 gives a comprehensive understanding of how to use the OrcaFlex software for model design and dynamic analysis of offshore marine and subsea systems. Delegates will learn how to model different types of risers, mooring lines and flexibles and how to analyse for fatigue damage and vortex induced vibration (VIV).
