PROJECT: Dolwin 6

  • Topsides FEM structural analysis using Ansys.
  • Pile Cluster Analysis:
    • Analysis and strength verification of the pile clusters against In-Service ULS and ALS scenarios as per DNVGL and EuroCode code checks.
    • Extraction of the SCFs (Stress Concentration Factor) for input into fatigue analysis of the different weld connections
    • Grout connection of the pile cluster
Dolwin 6

PROJECT: CONFIDENTIAL – BID PHASE

Development of two identical topsides of two offshore grid connection systems planned as high-voltage direct current (HVDC) connections, located in the German North Sea at about 40m water depth and 100km from shore.

Finite Element Analyses with ANSYS (BID phase). Scenarios analyzed:

  • Global In-service Verification of the Topside, in-place condition
  • Global Pre-service Verification of the Topside, sea transport onto cargo barge and installation via SSCV lift.

Developed tasks:

  • FEM master model
  • Design inputs, loads and asumptions
  • Structural analyses by means of FE:
    • In-service. Inplace – ULS.
    • Pre-service. Sea transport onto cargo barge – ULS.
    • Pre-service. Installation via SSCV lift – ULS.
  • Stresses check to design codes as applicable
  • Support for structural design drawings development
