The context

Understanding
the assignment.

Nautilus Dynamics teams analysed the motions of a floating production unit and assessed linear and nonlinear damping levels for a range of environmental conditions.

Challenges

  • Distinguish the contribution of linear and nonlinear damping to vessel response.
  • Represent the influence of environmental conditions on the assessed motions.
Nautilus Dynamics’ contribution
