We offer a range of services, all are based on our expertise of hydrodynamics and marine engineering.
We evaluate environmental limits to ensure safe and efficient offshore operations. With the analysis software OrcaFlex, we simulate offshore operations in frequency- or time-domain. With a number of supercomputers at our disposal, we are able to perform thousands of simulations ensuring all environmental conditions are taken into account.
For any vessel Mocean can determine hydrodynamic behaviour and provide vessel RAOs. This is possible on the basis of existing panel models, linesplans or other 3D geometries. We use a combination of diffraction analysis (AQWA and OrcaWave), and in-house tools to determine additional properties like damping, the influence of Anti Roll Tanks and more.
Mocean has a strong record in using OrcaFlex and OrcaWave to its maximum capabilities. Our engineers know and use the tool to its full extend. Mocean has a wide range of in-house extensions to the software to ensure accurate modelling of complex interactions. This includes control systems like Dynamic Positioning, active vessel-to-vessel mooring systems, a range of tools including motion-compensation, winch-control and many more.
Mocean believes in avoiding conservatism where possible. This includes zooming in on phenomena that are commonly represented using conservative estimates of e.g. drag, added mass and damping. Through the use of CFD, Mocean aims to accurately represent hydrodynamic behavior of complex structures (lowering templates, suction buckets, ROVs). We use CFD as an extension on our modelling and analysis only.
