Hydrodynamic Simulation with Ansys AQWA

Reliable calculation of the effects of wind and wave loads on structural components

Overview

Training Basic

Calculate the effect of wave, current and wind loads on marine vessels and offshore installations during the development phase. This training is offered as a 2-day course.

Duration
2 days

Prerequisites
None

Software used
Ansys Mechanical

Benefits
  • Designing structures for complex offshore environments
  • Fast investigations of many variants
  • Implement optimal design through simulation
  • Simulation of the assembly process of offshore plants

Description

Offshore installations are frequently exposed to changing weather conditions. Of great interest is the most accurate calculation of the effect of wind and wave loads on the structure under these different conditions. The same applies to all types of vessels - from tankers to cruise liners. With Ansys AQWA you can simulate the hydrodynamic interaction with minimal computing time. In contrast to time-consuming CFD simulations, the solution is based on 3D radiation / diffraction theory, which is itself based on potential theory.

Do you have questions on the training?

When will I receive the final confirmation for my training booking?

Straight after you sign up, an automatic confirmation of receipt will be sent to the email addresses you provided. Once you have successfully verified the data you provided, you will receive your personalized sign-up confirmation, containing further information on course fees, the billing address, etc., by email within two to three working days.  

As soon as the minimum number of attendees has been reached, you will receive a final training confirmation containing further information. If you have booked an on-site training, we recommend that you wait until you have received this final confirmation before booking your travel and accommodation.

If the minimum number of attendees is not reached, we reserve the right to cancel the training seven days before it is due to start at the latest. We are happy to inform you on changing your booking to an alternative date. Please note that we accept no liability for hotel or travel bookings that attendees have already made.

When is the sign-up deadline for a training?

Training places will generally be allocated based on the order in which attendees sign up. For this reason, we always recommend booking for your desired date as early as possible.

As long as a coures still has free places, it can be booked.

At what time do the training courses begin and end?

Usually the training courses start at 9:00 am and end at 5:00 pm of the respective local time. The actual course times will be stated in the booking confirmation. Please note that, depending on the training host, there may be a possible time shift between your and the provider's local time. Therefore all local times are provided with the valid time shift to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
