Concurrent engineering-based user environment for model development, analysis, design, visualization, and verification. Full range of offshore load generation capability including wave and transport load generation, which can be used in STAAD.Pro for analysis, including static, P-delta, pushover, response spectrum, time history, cable (linear and non-linear), buckling and steel and concrete design. Object-oriented intuitive 2D/3D graphical model generation. The wave forces on every member in the STAAD.Pro model can be calculated for a jacket structure for a wave approaching at any user specified angle. The transport load module calculates the inertia forces due to motion accelerations, consisting of any combination of the 3-translational and 3rotational degrees of freedom. Each degree of freedom has an associated phase angle relative to the center of rotation, which defines the wave crest position for the associated maximum amplitude. The wave forces are calculated from Morison s equation using either stream functions, Stokes 5th Order, or Airy linear theory to compute the particle velocities and accelerations, or a user defined grid of velocities and accelerations.

Features STAAD.Tower currently offers these features: Wizard driven parametric physical model generation creates square and triangular self-supporting and guyed towers, and monopoles. This feature enhances productivity through faster model generation wizards and saves time on overall parametric editing of the physical model. An built in library of standard bracing patterns with facilities to create userdefined ones povides smooth automatic generation of analytical structures for any user defined physical model and increases productivity by providing a library of reusable bracing patterns. Extensive parametric editing facilities to incorporate changes in a tower s overall shape and slope, panel dimensions, and panel face configurations increases productivity by providing continuous change management. Intuitive physical member creation with appropriate orientation saves time on overall member creation. Easy to use drag and drop features for inserting components from a built in database like dish antennas, appurtenances, and platforms with facilities to adjust mounting pattern, location, tilt, and azimuth angles enhances overall profitability by letting you use and maintain component catalogs. Automatic generation of wind, ice, and seismic load cases for tower structures and external attachments as per TIA-222-F and TIA-222-G standards saves time and allows investigation of whatif scenarios. Linear static analysis and second-order analysis saves time and allows investigation of whatif scenarios. Post-processing features including joint displacements, member forces, stresses, support reactions, leg compression, deflection, tilt, and twist results in terms of diagrams and tables enable you to have detailed insight of the analysis results and help to plot multiple post-processing diagrams for a selective set of physical members for complex structures. Design of physical members as per TIA-222-F and TIA-222-G standards reduces errors due to complex calculations. A customizable, user-friendly, exhaustive report generation facility to create all exhaustive, complete reports straight from the software avoids manual report compilation activities and establishes dynamic update links and saves time in regenerating the desired report. Bi-directional interoperability with other STAAD products avoids duplication of efforts in case you need to transfer the model to other products. This saves time in generating a composite structure that involves both STAAD.FEM and STAAD.Tower.

Automatic Wave Load Generation and Design for Offshore and Floating Structures
Overview STAAD.Offshore is comprised of two primary modules: wave load and transport. Wave Load Module The wave load 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 STAAD.Pro loading data for the stiffness analysis. The wave load module computes the wave loading intensities due to wave and/or current effects along the submerged portion of the structural members and appurtenances below the wave surface profile, relative to the local X, Y, Z and global X, Y, Z axes. The wave loadings are summed at the joints for each member using simple beam theory from which the total structure base shear and overturning moments are calculated. The wave can be stepped through the structure in any specified direction over a range subdivided into equal internals using either phase angles or length units. The interval is specified by giving the start and finish positions of the wave crest relative to the structure mud line axis and a step interval. The wave force co-efficients, drag, and added mass, can be specified independently for each member or using member range. The coefficients are relative to the member local co-ordinate system. Marine growth and current velocity profiles are specified relative to the mean water level and are described as a discrete set of data points. The magnitude of the current at other elevations is determined by direct interpolation or extrapolation of the data. Alternatively, current flow continuity can be selected. The marine growth is only applied to the members within the profile range that is specified. The program computes the wave surface profile, wave celerity and wave length. The wave loading intensity along the members is assumed to be linear varying over a segment length. The accuracy is controlled by the user by specifying the appropriate number of segments along the members or by using the auto-segmentation option. The program generates STAAD.Pro loading data comprising of equivalent simple beam joint loads for buoyancy, wave loading intensities on structural members, and joint loads for wave loading on appurtenances. The structures deadweight can be generated by STAAD.Pro. Other output files include the structure base force summaries. There is an option in the program to neglect the overturning moments at the base that are caused by the vertical forces. This allows the vertical wave force effects to be quantified. The wave forces are calculated from Morison s equation using either stream functions, Stokes 5th Order, or Airy linear theory, to compute the particle velocities and accelerations, or a user defined grid of velocities and accelerations.

Related Solutions Buildings Campuses Related Software STAAD.Pro

Transport module The transport module can calculate the inertia forces due to motion accelerations, consisting of any combination of the 3-translational and 3-rotational degrees of freedom. The inertia loads can either be lumped at the nodes, or distributed along the members. The program generates a complete STAAD.Pro input file consisting of basic load cases for the inertia loadings on the structure, together with the STAAD.Pro commands necessary to perform analysis, output displacements, reactions, and member end forces. Motion loads can be generated in all six degrees of freedom (DOF), and combined, to form basic STAAD.Pro load cases. The DOF motions in a load case can be added or subtracted by specifying a directional load factor, such as -1.2, 1.0 and so on; a factor greater than 1.0 would signify a correction factor being applied to the generated load. If gravity tilt loads are to be generated then the global Y axis must be set vertically upwards. Also, in respect to vessel motions, a suitable axis convention would be to set the global Y axis vertical with the global X axis in the direction of the vessel longitudinal axis.

vessel longitudinal axis. This convention gives the following correspondence between each DOF in terms of ship motions. Thus, for example, using directional load factors it is possible to form load cases comprising of heave + roll, or heave - roll and heave + pitch, or heave pitch, to determine the maximum member forces at all positions within a structure.
