Description
Ship Mooring Engineering & Analysis with Orcaflex (SMEAO) Level 1 course is designed to provide participants with a foundational understanding of ship mooring principles and the use of Orcaflex software for analysis.
In the Level 1 course, participants learn about the basic concepts of ship mooring, including types of mooring systems, components, and design considerations. They also receive hands-on training on Orcaflex software, a widely used tool for simulating and analyzing mooring systems.
The Level 2 course builds upon the knowledge gained in Level 1 and focuses on advanced topics in ship mooring engineering and analysis. Participants deepen their understanding of dynamic mooring analysis, complex mooring system configurations, and advanced features of Orcaflex software.
During the courses, participants learn how to model and simulate various mooring scenarios, analyze vessel motions, tensions in mooring lines, and evaluate the performance of mooring systems under different environmental conditions.
The SMEAO courses provide participants with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively design, analyze, and optimize ship mooring systems using Orcaflex software. These courses are suitable for professionals involved in the design, operation, and risk assessment of offshore structures, floating production units, and vessels requiring mooring.
Ship Mooring Engineering & Analysis with Orcaflex (SMEAO) Level 1 & Level 2 covers Mooring Configuration, Design Criteria, Mooring of VLCC’s, Mooring Winches & Material Types, Principles Of Mooring Layout, Pattern of Moorings, Supervising Mooring Operations, Safe Working Environment, Safe Fibre Ropes, Flaking Out Mooring Lines, Safe Position Between Mooring Ropes, Safe Line Handling, Safe Mooring, Self Tensioning Winches, Keeping Moorings Taut, Mooring Equipment Ashore, Laser Docking Systems, Single Point Mooring Analysis with OrcaFLEX, FPSO Drift Force, Offset & Critical Damping Calculations while moored with mooring lines in position and more.
SMEAO Level 1 & Level 2 is purely hands on workshop and gives a comprehensive understanding of how to use the OrcaFlex software for calm bouy analysis either using the simple or discretized method.
In these simulation workshop, a CALM buoy is moored by six (6) equally spaced mooring lines. A shuttle tanker is moored to the buoy by a hawser, with fluid transfer through a floating hose. These workshop model are examples of coupled analysis. Simple CALM Buoy simulation method are presented Workshop 1 and Discretized CALM Buoy Simulation in Workshop 2.
