IN THIS VIDEO, YOU WILL DISCOVER

  • The process of importing and mapping the loads from hydrodynamic simulations for a floating offshore wind turbine after the model creation.
  • How a global coupled dynamic analysis aids in capturing all time-dependent loads for structural calculations.
  • An example of using OrcaWave, OrcaFlex, and Akselos software to map and visualize the loads.
  • The step-by-step procedure to visualize pressure distribution and the passage of a wave through a Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) substructure.

MORE ABOUT THIS VIDEO

This video demonstrates managing and visualizing loads in offshore wind turbine modelling using software like OrcaWave, OrcaFlex, and Akselos. It explains the significance of importing and mapping hydrodynamic simulation loads, carrying out a global coupled dynamic analysis, and using software outputs to interpolate data on the Akselos mesh. The video also details how to perform multiple aero-elastic-servo-hydrodynamic (AESH) design load cases and reconstruct all loads using key parameters. Ultimately, viewers learn to visually inspect a wave passing through the FOWT substructure before conducting the final structural calculations.

This video is the second video in the series of four videos. Streamline your workflow and create more optimized floater designs for your offshore wind projects.
