The Offshore Loading Program consists of a suite
of pre and post processor modules to the STAAD.Pro
Structural Analysis and Design Program. The program
is made up of three modules:
- The WAVELOAD module
calculates wave loads on structures using either STREAM
function, STOKES 5th Order Theory, AIRY theory, or
a user defined grid wave. The program generates a
STAAD.Pro loading data for the stiffness analysis.
- The FATIGUE module is
a deterministic fatigue program to calculate the fatigue
lives of tubular joints.
- The TRANSPORT module
calculates the inertia forces on a structure and generates
the STAAD.Pro loading data for the stiffness
analysis.
There is also the option of carrying out design code
checks to the American Petroleum Institute
(API) Recommended Practice for Planning, Designing and
Constructing Fixed Offshore Platforms with the STAAD.Pro
API code check module.
