The Abaqus Unified FEA product suite from SIMULIA provides realistic simulation solutions for the offshore industry that allow you to accurately predict structural strength and deformations in the large displacement nonlinear regime. Abaqus pre- and postprocessing technology coupled with its sophisticated solvers provides a complete and reliable solution for offshore structural analysis. Static, modal and dynamic analyses can be performed using a wide range of material models under different loading, boundary and contact conditions. You may simultaneously include loads due to fluid currents with wave and wind loading and you can compute detailed time-dependent responses for floating and non-floating offshore structures.
The oil and gas industry also involves drilling equipment, casings, and connections. The designers need to make sure that the equipment performs reliably and safely under loads that can often be severe. Abaqus Unified FEA has sophisticated features to take into account the various loading scenarios that the equipment can be subjected to, such as high temperature, pressure, and loading due to impact with other structures. SIMULIA’s Isight product allows optimization of not only individual components but also allows optimization of subsystems and assemblies. The SLM product from SIMULIA enables collaboration across different groups and companies
