STAAD.offshore consists
of a suite of pre and post processor modules to
the STAAD.Pro Structural Analysis and Design
Program. The program is made up of three modules:
- The WAVELOAD module
calculates wave loads on structures using either
STREAM function, STOKES 5th Order Theory, AIRY
theory, or a user defined grid wave. The program
generates a STAAD.Pro loading data for
the stiffness analysis.
- The FATIGUE module
is a deterministic fatigue program to calculate
the fatigue lives of tubular joints.
- The TRANSPORT
module calculates the inertia forces on a structure
and generates the STAAD.Pro loading data
for the stiffness analysis.
There is also the option of carrying out design
code checks to the American
Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice
for Planning, Designing and Constructing Fixed
Offshore Platforms with the STAAD.Pro
API code check module.
