Revolutionize Floating Offshore Wind Design with Akselos’ Advanced RB-FEA Technology

The rapid scaling of floating offshore wind energy is essential to achieve net-zero targets, necessitating the mass industrialization of floating offshore wind foundations to significantly reduce costs.

Traditional FEA-based computational workflows hinder designers, as they involve time-consuming processes, such as creating CAD models and running FEA simulations on a coarse mesh to pinpoint critical areas. Altering the model requires going back to the original CAD and starting anew, delaying progress.

In contrast, Akselos’ groundbreaking RB-FEA technology offers a more streamlined approach for floating offshore wind design engineering. With RB-FEA, designers can use a single, detailed model and mesh for the entire structure, enabling faster simulations and superior structural integrity. Designers begin with CAD models of components, mesh them as needed, and assemble them into a unified mesh within the Akselos environment.

RB-FEA empowers designers to explore numerous design alternatives at the level specified by industry standards, without the need for submodels. By evaluating hundreds of design options against diverse turbine and site conditions, designers can create optimal floating offshore wind turbine designs at an unparalleled speed, maximizing energy output and driving innovation.
