Training Course Descriptions
Abaqus for Offshore Analysis
Objective:
The offshore oil and gas industry has some unique analysis challenges.
Complex loading conditions, often highly nonlinear stress states, and
extensive contact requires advanced FEA software and experienced analysts
to be successful. This course was designed by Abaqus UK in support of
their offshore customers to provide them a more in-depth, industry-specific
training. The workshops in this course are completely new and were developed
from customer applications. Some of the topics covered in the course include:
- Review nonlinear material behavior (metal plasticity and hyperelasticity)
- Capabilities of Abaqus element types in general
- Specific element discussions include drag chain, pipe, PSI and ITT
elements
- Pipe-soil interaction
- Buckling including lateral buckling of seabed pipe line
- Highly nonlinear geometry with contact including pipe reeling
- Riser dynamics including Abaqus/Aqua
- Base motion simulating seismic loading
- Nonlinear dynamics with Abaqus/Explicit
This course is composed of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on workshops.
Who should attend:
This course is recommended for engineers with experience using Abaqus who work
in the Oil and Gas industry.
