FAQPage Schema

How do I automate OrcaFlex modeling workflows for offshore hydrodynamic analysis?▼

This Skill automates OrcaFlex modeling workflows using the Python API for batch processing and result extraction. It applies to FPSO mooring, riser dynamics, and installation scenarios for repeatable hydrodynamic analysis.

Can I run OrcaFlex mooring simulations without an active software license?▼

You can operate in mock-mode for testing without an OrcaFlex license. Mock-mode ensures reproducible workflow testing, but an active OrcaFlex license is required to execute real hydrodynamic simulations.

What standards are applied during FPSO mooring design and riser fatigue assessment?▼

FPSO mooring design and riser fatigue assessment apply DNV-ST-F201, API RP 2SK, and ISO 19901-7 standards. These offshore engineering expectations ensure traceable and standard-compliant simulation reports.

How do I set up a turret-moored FPSO model and run a static analysis?▼

To set up a turret-moored FPSO model, you configure the mooring parameters and run a static analysis to validate mooring loads. This quick start process verifies initial model stability before dynamic simulations.

Does this work with OrcaWave for offshore engineering simulations?▼

The automation workflows support both OrcaFlex and OrcaWave. You can use the Python API to integrate wave diffraction analysis from OrcaWave with mooring and riser dynamic simulations in OrcaFlex.

What is the best way to generate repeatable reports from OrcaFlex batch processing?▼

The best way to generate repeatable reports is using Python API automation to extract results from batch processing. This creates traceable outputs aligned with DNV and API standards for fatigue assessment.
