Description
This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to establish a guideline for engineers using non-linear analysis methods in documentation of ultimate limit states for offshore structures. This will be done by establishing procedures suitable for the practicing engineer; showing that non-linear analysis methods will give reliable predictions of ultimate capacity fore offshore structures; establishing requirements of the non-linear analysis software. The guideline will cover all aspects from the requirements of software through modeling if loads and geometry to reporting of details.
Latest progress update
The project has been completed. A copy of the final report has been distributed to the participants.
