Offshore Dynamics Inc. has years of in-depth experiences on using the following engineering software packages:

StruCAD

StruCAD is a general-purpose interactive, graphics-oriented system for constructing, analyzing and designing three-dimensional structural engineering models. It is one of the most popular tools for design and analysis of space-frame type of structures, including deck, jacket, modules and skids, etc

ANSYS

ANSYS is a general-purpose linear and non-linear finite element modeling and analysis software suite. ANSYS has been widely used for structural design and analysis of floating platforms, complicated components and structural connections.

WAMIT

WAMIT is a wave hydrodynamic analysis tool widely used in the offshore industry for the motion analysis of floating platforms and computation of hydrodynamic forces.

ABAQUS

ABAQUS is a FEA tool for analyzing structure nonlinear behavior including large displacement, installation, material non-linearity and structural dynamics. A complete set of ABAQUS post-processing programs, special subroutines and user elements were developed by ODI for advanced riser global or component nonlinear analysis.

Shear 7

Shear 7 is widely used in the offshore industry for riser/tendon VIV fatigue analysis.


HARP/Charm3D

HARP/Charm3D is an integrated time-domain program for coupled hull/mooring/riser analysis, jointly developed by Texas A&M University and Offshore Dynamics Inc. The core of the program Charm3D is originally developed by a JIP (Joint Industry Program). Design and analysis tools for hull, mooring systems, risers, and piles were added to build components for a coupled system. HARP provides a user-friendly Windows-based interface to link each module together and perform the coupled hydrodynamic analysis of offshore platforms. Advanced visualization and post-processing utilities are also available in HARP.


Misc. Utility Programs

Other in-house developed programs include structural design utility programs, structural analysis pre and post processing programs, buckling check and fatigue analysis programs, etc


CAESAR II

CAESAR II is a PC-based pipe stress analysis software program developed, marketed
and sold by COADE Engineering Software This software package is an engineering tool mostly used in the mechanical design and analysis of piping systems. With the input of the piping system parameters (such as pipe geometry, materials, as well as loading conditions) by the user, CAESAR II produces results in the form.
