ABSTRACT
This paper presents a numerical simulation of an anchored-offshore PV under loads, using SESAM & OrcaFlex for dynamic analysis of the coupled system. It obtains forces, characteristics, and tension, and calculates the PV structure first through SESAM, then substitutes the parameters into OrcaFlex to yield the coupling model. Various conditions are considered to estimate the dynamic characteristics and obtain the operating conditions.
