Sesam (structural analysis software)

During the 1990s Sesam was further enhanced with a high-level concept modelling technique together with a design-oriented and unified user interface.

The development of the recent years with frequent new releases is focused on improving Sesam as a tool for all phases of offshore and maritime structures from design, through transportation, installation, operation and modification to life extension, requalification and finally decommissioning.

Sesam consists of several modules of which the most important are: GeniE for modelling, analysis and code checking of beam, plate and shell structures like offshore platforms and ships.

HydroD for hydrodynamic and hydrostatic analysis of fixed and floating structures like offshore platforms and ships.

Sesam is developed in Norway by DNV with focus on solution of structural and hydrodynamic engineering problems within the offshore and maritime industries.
