DNV Sesam Package 2024 Software suite for hydrodynamic and structural analysis of offshore wind, offshore oil and gas, and maritime structures.
Sesam is a software suite for hydrodynamic and structural analysis of ships and offshore structures. It is based on the displacement formulation of the finite element method. An overview of Sesam is shown below.
The four groups of programs: preprocessors, hydrodynamic analysis programs, structural analysis programs and postprocessors, are bound together by a set of Sesam Interface Files and Formats, the green “H” in the figure. All major inter-program communication goes via this well-defined set of files. The exception is for Sesam Core that streams data from Sestra directly.
Sesam customers can access the functionality via customized enterprise packages or pre-configured Sesam Packages. In many cases, the Sesam Packages will meet the demands for functionality. If not, a customized enterprise package can be made by contacting our sales staff.
Sesam Manager at top of the figure is the master control program of Sesam. Analysis workflows including any of the Sesam programs and of any complexity may be set up and run. This tool is part of all relevant customized enterprise or pre-configured packages.
