Finite element analysis is a tool suited for validation and optimization in all fields of engineering. FE experience involving global models as well as microengineering aspects of connection details have been carried out to client satisfaction. Requirements of FE analysis arises in various engineering problems associated with offshore structures including new designs, conversions, upgrades, life extension, decommissioning etc. Various global or local finite element models are developed in these projects to accurately simulate the linear/non-linear structural responses under complex loading conditions. FEMAP, SACS, Moses etc. are just a few of the software that are employed by our experienced team of engineers for finite element applications.
Yes. Aries Energy applies finite element analysis to life extension projects on offshore structures, using linear and non-linear structural response simulation to assess whether an aging platform’s structure remains adequate under current or extended operating conditions before a life-extension decision is finalized.
Aries Enegy’s finite element analysis work uses FEMAP, SACS, and Moses, supporting both global model development for overall structural response and local (connection-detail) modeling for microengineering analysis of specific structural connections.
Yes. Fatigue analysis is one of Aries Energy’s structural engineering capabilities for offshore structures, typically supported by finite element modeling to evaluate cyclic loading effects on structural members and connections over a platform’s design or extended life.
Yes. Aries Energy offers reverse engineering analysis and calculations as part of its structural design and analysis capability, which can draw on finite element modeling to reconstruct the structural behavior and adequacy of an existing asset when original design documentation is incomplete or unavailable.
