SAGE Profile, Fugro’s state-of-the-art subsea pipeline analysis software

Fugro commercialises the SAGE Profile software, which they specifically develop to assist pipeline engineers in the design and analysis of their subsea pipelines. The software is used internationally by numerous clients active in the oil and gas industry.

The powerful finite element solver provides an excellent tool for conventional and more complicated designs such as pipeline route optimisation, realistic simulation of the pipe-laying process, free span evaluation, on-bottom stress calculations, prediction of buckling and expansion analysis.

Our clients like to describe SAGE Profile as an attractive tool that combines the powerful potential of a dynamic explicit finite element solver with an easy and straightforward interface to build the pipeline model and solve complex problems in very short time, compatible with industry demand for fast execution and delivery of results.
