Description
SESAM (Super Element Structure Analysis Module) is a sophisticated finite element analysis (FEA) system created by Det Norske Veritas (DNV-GL). This system incorporates various modules, including GeniE, HydroD, and DeepC, and is primarily utilized for evaluating the structural integrity of offshore installations, calculating wave loads, and analyzing mooring systems. Each module serves a specific purpose: GeniE focuses on fixed structure analysis, HydroD specializes in floating structure analysis, and DeepC is dedicated to mooring system analysis.
GeniE facilitates the modeling of high-level geometries for beams, flat plates, and stiffened shells, while also managing load modeling that encompasses equipment with automatic load transfer, explicit loads, and wind loads, as well as the generation of compartments in floating structures. HydroD stands out as a premier software solution for comprehensive hydrodynamic and stability analyses, featuring fully automated load transfer capabilities to finite element analysis. DeepC, on the other hand, is an interactive tool designed for modeling floating configurations—whether single or multi-body—anchored to the seabed with various mooring systems, including tension legs and risers. It leverages the Simo and Riflex modules to conduct non-linear time domain finite element simulations, with analysis results accessible within the DeepC interface.
Hydrodynamic analysis
Naval architects and structural engineers are progressively seeking enhanced efficiency, precision, and adaptability in their hydrodynamic analyses. This includes advanced wave load analysis capabilities that allow for the meticulous fine-tuning and optimization of designs for offshore structures and vessels.
Sesam’s HydroD, leveraging DNV’s extensive expertise in this field, stands out as the premier software for analyzing various types of floating structures. HydroD excels by providing comprehensive stability analysis, frequency domain analysis, and time domain analysis, all utilizing a unified model that is seamlessly integrated with finite element analysis.
We are excited to announce the launch of SesamCommands, a powerful tool designed to enhance your workflow management experience. This cutting-edge solution utilizes the SesamCommands Python package, enabling seamless interaction with Sesam Produce Suites and various external applications. By integrating this tool into your processes, you can significantly improve both productivity and operational efficiency.
SesamCommands serves as a robust Python package that facilitates the creation and execution of Sesam workflows across both local and cloud environments. It provides a range of executors that simplify the local execution of Sesam commands, allowing developers to run commands in a manner akin to a command-line interface, independent of any specific workflow context.
By streamlining the development process, SesamCommands effectively addresses the complexities associated with executing commands across Sesam Core, Wasim, and Sestra applications. The OneWorkflow and OneCompute Python packages are designed to manage the detailed aspects of workflow execution and oversight. At Sesam, we are committed to keeping pace with the latest advancements in the Python ecosystem, ensuring that SesamWorkflows remains fully compatible with the most recent Python versions.
