The Sesam 2011 DVD - August 2011
DNV Software releases new versions of the
Sesam product lines DeepC, GeniE and HydroD
The new versions of DeepC, GeniE and HydroD
focus on providing more flexibility in performing
design analyses and on giving our users more
advanced analysis options to fine-tune the design.
We have increased Sesam’s coverage to also
include design of umbilicals.
“The continuous investments in Sesam lead to new
and improved products that help our customers
become even more productive,” says Ole Jan
Nekstad, Product Director Sesam.
Hereby, we thank you for your continuous support
to Sesam. Your feedback is important to us. If you
have any suggestions, questions or problems
please send an email to:
software.support@dnv.com or contact our local
support.

GeniE v6.0 – Benefits
Full support of 64 bit technology will give our users access to
“unlimited amount” of memory. This will in particular help out
when modelling very large models, but also during code checking
of models with a significant high number of load cases.
Furthermore, it can import additional Sacs data and the code
checking has been made even more flexible for the ISO standard.

SesamTM
3 December 2012

Sesam GeniE – now a 64 bit application
32 and 64 bit applications – “unlimited access to data memory”
- Much easier to model and analyse large models with 64bit
- The model below was successfully made in 32bit – easier now
- 165.000 beams, 200.000 shells, 1.000.000 dof, 41 LC

A typical Sevan FPSO

SesamTM
3 December 2012

Much more complete import of Sacs data
Load combinations
Handling line loads on segmented members with more than 3 segments
Better warnings during import of Sacs data

Large number of
1000+ load
members and
combinations
plates

SesamTM

GeniE v6.1 – Main benefits Released
March 2012

Our users can now maintain and control the finite element
numbering of beam models. This also applies to imported models
from FEM or Sacs format.
The manual labour to redefine wave load data for imported models
is no longer needed as GeniE can import wave load date from older
Sesam format and Sacs.
GeniE can now include tension or compression elements in linear
analysis to the benefit of e.g. lifting or jack-up analysis. Ask us for
a utility tool to run Sestra tension/compression analysis.
Beams in X-joints can be fully disconnected. This leads to a sound
non-linear analysis model as well as improved tension/compression
analysis.
SesamTM
3 December 2012

Import wave load data
Importing all hydrodynamic properties and wave load data from Wajac or by Sacs

SesamTM
3 December 2012

Tension/Compression (T/C) analysis
Example uniform upwards load
- You need a utility tool from us to run T/C analysis
- Sestra v8.5 or later needed

Compression elements
not contributing to stiffness
No axial stress

Tension elements
contributing to stiffness Compression/tension (truss)
Positive SIGXX elements contributing to
stiffness
SesamTM

GeniE v6.2 – Main benefits
A major upgrade of all beam code check standards reflecting the
latest code check revisions as well as providing more user control
in the use of code check formulas
A more robust data import from Sacs with respect to point and line
loads on members with very large eccentricities

SesamTM
3 December 2012

Supported code check standards

January 2007 (joint capacity check)

SesamTM
3 December 2012

Joint checks updates (all codes)
Azimuthal angle tolerance
- The user can now define azimuthal tolerance angle for joint
design. This provides the possibility to define different sets of
braces to be used on Joint Punch Check Analysis
- Previous GeniE versions used 5 degrees as default value

Define Brace - Can End distance
- Define Brace - Can End distance in opposition to the only
method used before (min distance).
- This option gives the individual brace - can end distance for
the joint punch analysis.

SesamTM
3 December 2012

Cone checks updates (all codes)
GeniE allows users to choose between internal forces
on cone structures or adjacent forces on tubulars
close to transitions points for Cone Code Check
Analysis
GeniE has two ways of retrieve axial forces for cone
code checks.
- Default behaviour: Conical internal forces - the internal
axial forces are retrieved
- User option: External forces - in this case the forces at the
transitions are retrieved

Usfos v8.6 – Main benefits
More strict checking of the finite element model to ensure that the
model is fit for use in non-linear analysis.
There are new program defaults and accuracy parameters that will
help the user during analysis and joint capacity checking
In addition several enhancements in the user interface for graphical
verification of the model as well as easier hydrodynamic.

SesamTM
3 December 2012

Stricter data check of the imported model
Element length vs. diameter
- Very short elements could cause unnecessary numerical
problems
- If L/D < 0.5 Usfos will stop and report this as an illegal short
element

Eccentricity vs. element length
- Source for numerical inaccuracies when extreme eccentricities
- If (e1+e2)/L < 0.5 Usfos will stop and report this as an illegal big
eccentricity

Soil thickness vs. pile diameter
- In a normal pile-soil model, the soil thickness is typically 3-10
times the pile diameter
- If Thick/D <1.0 Usfos will report this as an illegal thin soil layer

You may over-rule these data checks
- In most cases not recommended
