OrcaFlex allows you to model piping systems and offshore structures and simulate various conditions using a graphical user interface.

Some other key features of OrcaFlex are:
1. System Component Modeling: You can model various components of piping systems and offshore structures in OrcaFlex, including pipes, cables, buoyants, anchors and other components.
2. Modeling forces and loads: You can apply various forces and loads to the system, including water flow forces, wind forces, mass forces, and other forces.
3. Simulation of dynamic behavior: OrcaFlex provides the possibility of simulating the dynamic behavior of piping systems and marine structures, including the analysis of various aspects such as buoyancy, movement of the system following the flow of water, the effect of waves and other external forces.
4. Static analysis: You can apply different loads on the system in static conditions and analyze their behavior in different conditions such as the current state, wind and waves.
5. Stability Analysis: OrcaFlex enables stability analysis of piping systems and marine structures.
6. Stress and Strain Analysis: OrcaFlex allows you to analyze the stresses and strains required in the system. You can identify the weaknesses and strengths of the structure and use these analyzes to improve the design and safety of the structure.
7. Analysis of environmental effects: OrcaFlex has the ability to analyze environmental effects such as waves, water flow, air flow and weather conditions. You can investigate the effect of these factors on systems and structures and provide better design as a result.
8. Data reporting and analysis: OrcaFlex provides the ability to generate comprehensive reports and detailed analysis of simulation data. You can view the simulation results graphically or numerically and use them in reports and documentation.
OrcaFlex software operates using Finite Element Method and uses advanced algorithms to solve the relevant equations. This software is used to analyze and design complex systems in oil and gas, marine energy, submarine, marine transportation and other related industries.
Engineers and experts can use OrcaFlex to model different designs, simulate system behavior under different input conditions, and use analysis results to improve designs and create optimal solutions.

Futuros desarrollos

Todavía estamos ultimando el contenido exacto de la próxima versión de OrcaFlex. Sin embargo, durante los próximos 24 meses pretendemos desarrollar las siguientes áreas:

• Otras funciones para el análisis de amarres (líneas de amarre sintéticas, flujo de trabajo adaptado al análisis de amarres, mejores resultados extremos, etc.)
• Otras funciones para el modelado de aerogeneradores
• Otras características para el análisis de difracción
• Otras características para la resistencia del fondo marino: modelos de interacción vertical relevantes para el levantamiento de tuberías o para el modelado de tuberías verticales de perforación
• Cálculos basados ​​en paneles en OrcaFlex
• Características para respaldar la computación escalable y en la nube
• Calidad mejorada de gráficos sombreados.

Tenga en cuenta que la lista anterior no constituye un compromiso definitivo. Algunas funciones tardan más tiempo (o, en ocasiones, menos) en desarrollarse de lo que se había estimado originalmente.
