The seminar is intended for Optimoor users of all levels of experience.

Many features of the program will be discussed and demonstrated. Example mooring case studies will be presented. Opportunities will be provided for open discussions, feedback and suggestions.

Attendance is limited to a maximum of 40 so that adequate attention can be given to questions.

New Features

Advanced features and recent enhancements of Optimoor will be discussed and demonstrated:

3D Optimoor: The new 3D graphics will be demonstrated along with features such as clash detection, measuring tool.

Network Licence:  Demonstration of new network licence (no dongle required). How to activate. Set up automatic release or store on PC for offline access.

Hydrodynamic Coefficient files (HCFs) and User Defined RAO: For calculating wave response for specific hull profiles. What are they? How are they created? How to run in Optimoor

Jonswap spectrum: How to use

Tsunami: New model added to Optimoor. Demonstration of how to run in Optimoor.

New Ship-Shore Compatibility Study (SSCS): New web platform for the digitising of the SSCS process applicable to the LNG / LPG sector. Automated compatibility process which will be linked into Optimoor 3D.

Other Topics Include

Ship-to-Ship Module, Alongside Mooring: Analysis of two ships moored side-by-side, including mooring line loads and fender forces between the ships. Benchmarking relative ship motions to other industry accepted software.

Dynamic Analysis: Demonstration of wind gusting, time varying current and waves and how Dynamic analysis can be used to simulate real life events such as vessel break out.

Wind and Current Coefficients: What are they? How to access them.  How to create new ones or modify existing ones.  How were they validated?

Effects of Waves and Swell: Differences between waves and swell.  The benefits of longer compliant tails in exposed locations

OCIMF MEG 4 Discussion: Presentation on the new OCIMF MEG 4 including typical misinterpretations, new definitions and how this affects data input for Optimoor. Calculating ‘Ship Design Minimum Breaking Load’ (SdMBL). Q&A will be held to discuss any queries.

Mooring Lines / Rope Stiffness: Discussion on both static and dynamic rope stiffness and how Optimoor models these.
