Description

Offshore platform engineering design with SACS (Structural Analysis Computer System) involves the use of advanced software tools to design and analyze the structural components of offshore platforms.

SACS is a software package specifically designed for offshore structures, and it is widely used in the oil and gas industry for the analysis and design of offshore structures. It provides advanced capabilities for finite element analysis, dynamic analysis, fatigue analysis, and other types of structural analysis.

The engineering design process with SACS typically involves several steps. The first step is to create a detailed model of the offshore platform, which includes all the structural components such as the platform deck, support legs, and other equipment. This model is then used to perform various types of analysis, such as static and dynamic load analysis, fatigue analysis, and other types of structural analysis.

The output of these analyses is used to optimize the design of the platform, ensuring that it is structurally sound and can withstand the harsh offshore environment. This includes considerations such as the impact of wind and waves, as well as the effects of corrosion and other environmental factors.

The overall objective is to provide participants with an understanding of the design and construction of fixed offshore platform using SACs software. It also include specifically:

The theory and process of such design
The use of current, applicable engineering methods in the design of fixed offshore platforms.

In addition to the traditional lecture delivery, the course delivery emphasizes the use of group discussions and actual design problems in order to ensure participants can put the newly learned concepts to use.
