Apps
Lateral pile analysis
This application calculates the pile behaviour under lateral loading. The calculations are based on a 1D finite element model with Timoshenko beam theory and all 4 soil reaction components of the PISA 1D model.
​
Premium app includes:​
-
API model
-
No restrictions for pile geometry
Axial pile analysis
This application calculates the axial pile capacity using various common design methods for offshore foundations. Methods include: API, ICP, UWA, Alm & Hamre (for pile driving).
​
This functionality is only available in the premium app.
​
Pile driving
This application calculates the pile behaviour during pile driving, where the stress waves in the pile are simulated. It is based on a finite element model, with a predictor-corrector method to perform time-stepping.
​
Premium app includes:​
-
API / Alm & Hamre SRD + user defined SRD
-
Detailed driving settings
Spudcan penetration
This application calculates the load-penetration curve for a spudcan of a jack-up vessel. The calculations are performed according to the mechanism based method in the InSafe JIP report allowing for multiple layer interactions.
MPM simulations are available upon request.
​
Premium app includes:​​
-
No restrictions for spudcan geometry
Suction installation / extraction
This application calculates the caisson or pile behaviour during suction installation or hydraulic extraction. The calculations are based on a 1D finite element limit analysis model, to capture layered soil profiles and different potential failure mechanisms.
​
Premium app includes:​
-
Axial pile resistance models
-
No restrictions for pile geometry
Offshore loads
Calculate the forces acting on a (mono)pile due to wind, waves and currents.
The wave loads use linear wave theory combined with the Morison equation. The currents and wind loads are calculated with a power law profile.
