DNV Sesam 2024 is a structural analysis and design software suite for offshore and maritime engineering, developed by DNV. Released in late 2024, it focuses on advanced finite element analysis (FEA),
The SESAM software consists of three parts: DeepC (Deepwater Floating System Mooring Coupling Analysis), GeniE (Fixed Offshore Platform Plate and Girder Structural Analysis), and HydroD (Hydrodynamic Analysis of Ships and Mobile Offshore Platforms). hydrodynamics, and coupled simulations for structures like offshore platforms, wind turbines, and floating systems. Below is a concise overview based on your query and the latest available information:
Key Features of Sesam 2024
Genie: Enhanced modeling for jackets, topsides, and substructures with improved automation for faster design iterations and code-checking (e.g., API, AISC, Eurocode).
HydroD: Upgraded hydrodynamic analysis for wave, wind, and current loads, with better support for floating structures and renewable energy systems.
SIMA: Advanced coupled analysis for mooring, risers, and dynamic systems, optimized for offshore wind and complex marine operations.
Cloud Integration: Expanded cloud-computing capabilities for simulations, reducing local hardware needs and enabling scalable processing.
Sustainability: New tools for carbon footprint assessment and eco-friendly design optimization, aligning with industry regulations.
Interoperability: Improved integration with other DNV tools (e.g., Synergi) and third-party software for streamlined workflows.
