Sub-modelling analysis combined with plate/shell fatigue analysis Course code: SE-22 Duration: 2 days Prerequisite: SE-01. The participants should also have knowledge of the principles of stochastic (spectral) fatigue analysis.
Description The course introduces the sub-modelling technique which allows a refined analysis of a detail of the whole structure. Displacements extracted from an analysis of the whole structure are subjected to the sub-model boundaries together with local loads on the sub-model. Such local sub-model loads may be hydrodynamic loads. A sub-model analysis facilitates stochastic (spectral) fatigue analysis of a plate/shell detail.
Learning objectives Learn how to create sub-models in Sesam GeniE and use Submod to perform a sub-modelling analysis. Also learn to use Stofat for stochastic fatigue analysis of plate/shell type structures.

For those without QRA experience, it can be daunting to take the concepts covered in other modules (such as SA-07, Safeti QRA) and building a QRA from scratch for a processing unit (or even an entire plant) using Safeti. In this customised course we can work with you on a typical facility, or part of a facility, explaining how you would begin to build a QRA in Safeti. We can take you through the entire QRA process, typically for a small idealised unit of your facility, helping you scope the QRA and providing advice on how to collect the necessary data, break the unit into a number of failure cases, and build a QRA model in Safeti. Based on the simple QRA model developed, we can then take you through the analysis of results including assessment against acceptance criteria and measures for mitigating risks.
Learning objectives Upon completion of this course, you will have been through the entire process of developing a simple Safeti QRA model with direct relevance to their specific needs by working directly with a DNV Software expert.
