nnsoftware provides an integrated facility for performing structuralassessment of most types of offshore structures including jackets, jack-ups, concrete gravity-based platforms, risers, floating productions on storage and
offloading (FPSOs), TLPs, semi-submersibles and, of course, ships. Two packages
are available. ANSYS ASAS software is a general-purpose analysis capability with
linear and nonlinear options including code checks. Model creation can be performed via ANSYS

nnnn. The ANSYS ASAS Offshorepackage extends ANSYS ASAS to include modules for wave loading,
soilΖpilestructure interaction and spectral fatigue due to wave and wind loading.
ANSYS ASAS Offshore is designed primarily for the assessment of framed struc-
tures such as jackets, jack-ups, subsea templates, risers and topsides.
2- and 3-node bars and beams including tubes and box elements with local and global offsets Full range of solid elements including high accuracy 8-node and 20-node bricks, 6- and 15-node wedges, 10-node tetrahedral, and 15- and 20-node laminated elements Low- and high-order shell elements with thick and thin shell formulations Special crack elements and a shell-
brick interface Most elements can be used for field problems (heat transfer, etc.) Isotropic, orthotropic and anisotropic material Units can be modified within the data Pressure loads and accelerations from an ANSYS >
