DNV GL Sesam Software

1) The Sesam GeniE software is a software tool for designing and analyzing offshore
and maritime structures made of beams and plates. Modelling, analysis and results
processing are performed in the same graphical user interface. The use of concept
technology makes the Sesam GeniE software highly efficient for integrating stability,
loading, strength assessment and CAD exchange. All data are persistent enabling the
engineers to do efficient iterative re-design of a structure.
2) The Sesam HydroD software is a tool for hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analysis.
By integrating these tasks, significant cost savings may be achieved in the
engineering phase since the same panel model may be used by one tool. Sesam
HydroD software will perform compliance checks against statutory rules for stability
including the importance of integrity of the deck tanks. Floating positions may be
determined as a result of actual mass and buoyancy or from an automatic
compartment filling to satisfy specified position.
3) The Sesam DeepC software is a tool for mooring and riser design as well marine
operations of offshore floating structures. It will perform mooring analysis separately
or when including the coupled effects from risers and vessels. Furthermore, Sesam
DeepC software may be used for riser design where the risers are analyzed
separately or when considering coupling effects. Marine operations may be simulated
in the time domain for a study of motions and station keeping of multibody systems.
4) The Sesam Marine software has the ability to visualise the operations in 3D and
run multiple ‘what-if’ scenarios showing the results of all known factors, including
dynamic positioning, reduces risk significantly for transportation, installation and
lifting of fixed and floating structures and installation of subsea equipment. The
simulations in Sesam Marine can be used during real-time execution of marine
operations, including installation of SURF structures such as templates, flexible risers,
umbilicals and pipelines. The coupled and multi-body analysis is performed in time
domain and is among others based on 3rd-order Runge-Kutta and Newmark-β
methods.
Sesam Marine’s benefits are crucial for successful completion of offshore installations.
With Sesam Marine it is possible to view the simulated operations in actual

time.
 At what speed is it feasible to perform the operations?
 How quickly can a loaded crane rotate in various weather conditions?
 How should the crane be positioned for most stable procedures?
 Is the operation feasible only up to a certain wave height?
Seeing the operation through realistic computer simulation offers unequalled decision
support. Technicians will see ahead of time how the components will react to the
forces needed, what motion will be incurred, for example swing movements of
equipment or the heeling force on a vessel or offshore structure. When the actual
marine operations begins, the confidence of having seen the simulation will support
operators in making the right decisions.
With Sesam Marine software you can:

 Manage risk of marine operations
 Perform ‘what-if’ analyses
 Improve HSE performance
 Benefit from cross-disciplinary communication
 Evaluate feasibility
 Gain better understanding of main challenges
 Prepare for actual operation through familiarisation
 Support decision-making during actual operation
 Understand through visualisation
Sesam Marine includes the modules Sima, Simo and Riflex. Sima is the graphical
front end of Simo and Riflex for marine operations.

5) The Pipeline Engineering Tool is a calculation tool for early phase pipeline
assessment covering different aspects of pipeline design. The tool is a VBA (Visual Basic
for Applications) based on program with a user-friendly interface.
StableLines Software for pipeline on-bottom stability
An engineering analysis software for pipelines, based on DNV Recommended Practice DNV-
RP-F109.
FatFree: Advanced free span analysis software
A professional software for engineering analysis of free spanning pipelines according to the
DNV Recommended Practice, RP-F105.
DNV-OS-F101 Code Compliance

Submarine Pipeline systems Code Compliance program
Related to the re-issue of the DNV Offshore Standard for Submarine Pipeline Systems, DNV
has updated the program for doing code check. DNV-OS-F101 Code Compliance is a VBA
(Visual Basic for Applications) based program with a user-friendly Microsoft Excel
spreadsheet interface.
6) The Sesam Wind software offers a tailor-made solution for structural strength
analysis of offshore wind turbine structures addressing the industry’s need to account
for the combined effect of wind and hydrodynamic loads. The analysis functionality
offered is in accordance with international standards like IEC61400-3 and the DNV
Offshore Standard DNV-OS-J101 Design of Offshore Wind Turbines.
7) The Sesam Probability software (Proban) is a general purpose program for

probabilistic, reliability and sensitivity analysis. By complementing the
hydrodynamic and structural analysis features, the Sesam Probability software
(Proban) module forms a part of the powerful suite of Sesam programs for
maritime and offshore engineering analysis.
