Perform Engineering Simulation for the Marine & Offshore Industry

Course details

This module, focusing primarily on applications in the marine and offshore industry, is recommended for engineers who wish to perform various engineering analyses related to marine and offshore engineering using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The standard stipulates how to:

• Analyze the dynamics of structures, including modal analysis, harmonic response analysis and analyzing the effects of random vibration on a structure
• Analyze fatigue phenomena for both linear and non-linear static structural analyses to investigate the product's durability
• Perform multi-body hydrodynamic analysis on all types of marine and offshore structures, including diffraction, environment loadings, frequency, time domains, mooring as well as articulations analyses
• Analyze fluid-structure interaction to understand the interfaces between fluid and structural domains for various marine and offshore applications, such as those related to hull design, ship optimization, impact of waves on freshwater and offshore systems as well as evaluating the response of structures and systems to time-varying ocean waves loads
