SESAM Structure, pile, soil and

DNV Software – Genie Jacket Integrated Analysis

Revised 6 September 2011

wave analysis in GeniE

SESAM User Course in integrated design analysis of jackets

Genie Workshop:

Model and analyse the jacket when subjected to wave loads

• The purpose of this workshop is to guide the

user in how to model a small 4-legged jacket

with a simplified topside structure on top. The

jacket is fixed with 4 piles for a given

environment condition (the soil layers).

Furthermore, the analysis also assumes a given

wave load condition.

• The workshop also addresses how to perform

the integrated analysis including both the

hydrodynamic analysis (running Wajac in the

background), the non-linear pile-soil analysis

(running Splice in the background) and finally

the structure analysis using Sestra (also in the

background).

• Details on how to transfer data to Framework

for code checking is also covered at the end of

the workshop.

• The objectives of this workshop is thus to steer

the user through one way of doing integrated

analysis. Other workshops focus more details

on modelling aspects.

• The workshop is accompanied with a pre-

defined journal file. This file may be read into

GeniE to recreate the same model as described

herein. The journal file contains comments so it

is easy to understand which commands create

which parts of the model.

Part 0 - General

• This workshop should be viewed on-line or on colour print out to best see the property

colour coding.

• It is required that you have the following programs in addition to GeniE: Wajac, Splice, and

Sestra. You should also have the program versions (or later) as found on the Sesam

Download per March 2011 and the GeniE D6.0-00 (or later).

A picture of the complete model –

one wave load condition is shown






Please note:

• The pictures created by Genie are shown using

either a white background

(View|Options|General|Paper Background) or a

screen based background. These may be different

from your background.

• Any of the structures are fictitious.

• Any of the names referred to assumes

import of the pre-defined journal file. Depending on

how you model, the naming may be different. This

has no impact to the usefulness of the model.

• For further details on the commands, pulldown

menus etc. used in this tutorial:

Step 1: Define sections and

material

• Start GeniE and open new

workspace (Ctrl+N) with units:

m and kN (and hence tonne)

• Create pipe sections:

Edit > Properties

in Section tab click

and create sections:

• Create thicknesses: Edit >

Properties, in Material tab click

and create thicknesses:

• Create material in similar way:

Th6 0.06






Step 2: Define guideplanes at

top and bottom elevations

• Insert guiding planes at bottom and top

of legs:

Guiding Geometry|Planes| Guide Plane

Dialog

Plane at top og legs (LegTop) at

Z coordinate 138 with X and Y

spanning from (-10,-7.5) to

(10,7.5) Use 1 for spacings in x

and y

Plane at bottom of legs

(LegBottom) at Z coordinate 0

with X and Y spanning from

(-22.5,-17.5) to (22.5,17.5)

Use 1 for spacings in x and y







Step 3: Model the main legs

• In upper right area of GUI set defaults:

Section: Pipe32

Material: Steel

Like this:

• Create the 4 legs:

Insert|Beam|Straight Beam

(or press in the upper left of

the GUI)

Click lower and upper ends of

each leg

(notice highlighting of the snap

point)

• With ‘Default display’

(upper middle area of GUI)

the model is displayed

as shown to the right

Guiding planes are no longer

needed so change display type

to ‘Modelling - Structure’







Step 4: Using the journal file

• When modelling, GeniE will

automatically create a JavaScript log

(the journal file or the js-file).

• Notice the JavaScript log of commands

in the lower area of GUI:

• This log is also found in a file named

workspace-name.js

You may edit this file and use it

as a Command File in a new

session (File|Read Command

File)

• Alternatively to clicking menus and

buttons you may type commands.

Having typed a couple of characters hit

Tab key to get box with alternatives.

Help is provided as you continue

typing.

• The log file contains all actions you

perform. If you want a journal file

without any history (a “clean journal

file”) you may create such file by

File|Export|Genie journal file (JS file).

This file is ideal for backup

purposes and also when

recreating the model using

newer program versions of

GeniE.







Step 5: Make the lowest horizontal

elevation

• Add elevations for bracings by using

Snap Plane:

Change Snap Perpendicular to

Snap Plane

Press Snap Plane

Give Z-coordinate of lowest

elevation

• Set default section to Pipe16:

• Use snap points at intersection

between legs

and Snap Plane to create horizontal

bracing

• Close Snap Plane dialog and create

horizontal X-bracing







Step 6: Make the lowest elevations

• Create each diagonal bracing from

elevation 5 to 40 as follows:

Press beam button

and click

lower end (1)

Press Snap Plane and give Z =

40

Click upper end (2) and beam

appears

• Continue this process to create all X-

bracing (all with Pipe16) between

elevations 5 and 40 as well as between

elevations 40 and 75

• In this process open and close Snap

Plane when necessary

• Create horiz. X-bracing at elevations

40 and 75

• Model at this stage:


Elev. 5

Elev. 40

Elev. 75






Step 7: Make the upper elevations

• Set default section to Pipe12

• Use Snap Plane first at elevation 105

and then at 135 to create horizontal

bracing

• Close Snap Plane and create all X-

bracing between 75 and 105 and

between 105 and 135

• Create T-bracing between 105 and 135:

Change Snap Plane to

Snap Perpendicular

Press Snap Perpendicular

Click X-joint (end 1) and see

midpoint of horizontal bracing

highlighted as end 2:

Model at this stage

Lift Snap Perpendicular


Snap Plane

intersects leg

Elev. 75

Elev. 105

Elev. 135






Step 8: Change the upper leg

• Change section for legs by segmented

modelling

Double-click a leg

Select and use RMB to Divide

At 80 m

Select upper segment and

Divide At 3 m

Select upper segment and use

RMB and Properties to change

section from Pipe32 to Pipe22

Create a cone section in same

way as for other sections and

assign this to short middle

segment

Repeat for other legs







Step 9: Complete the jacket

structure


• Create horizontal X-bracing at

elevations 105 and 135

• Change default section to Pipe22

• Create vertical stub at top of leg:


Dialog

Click in End 1 field to put focus

there

Click top of leg to insert this

point in End 1

Repeat for End 2

(or cut and pasted from End1

field)

Adjust End 2 by adding 5 m to

Z-coord.

Click OK to create stub

• Copy stub to other three leg tops

Select the vertical stub

Use RMB and Copy

Click Translation vector field

Click from-to points to

insert proper vector







Step 10: Make the conductors


• Use Snap Plane Y=3 to

create conductor support

• Copy the conductor support to all

elevations

Use X-joints as from-to points

to insert proper vertical

Translation vector in Copy

dialog


Horizontal X-bracings

only shown

‘From-point’

and ‘to-point’

gives vertical vector:

Vector3d(0 m,0 m,-30 m)

that creates proper copy

Snap Plane

intersects

X-bracing

Copy








• Create first conductor:


Dialog

Give data:

• Copy first conductor 2m in X-dirextion

twice:

Use Preview to confirm

before Apply

(You may also specify this as

default appearance from

View|Options|General)








• Conductors contribute with hydrodynamic forces but no stiffness:

Edit|Properties, Beam Type tab, click Create/Edit Beam Type, Nonstructural

tab, create a non-structural beam type (name only with no data)

Select the three conductors

In Properties > Beam types folder select non-structural beam type name and

use RMB to Apply Beam type to selection

• The bottom part of the conductors need to be supported in order to avoid

singularity in analysis

You use Insert|Support|Support Point Dialoge







Step 11: Make the topside

• Create lower deck (Th6):

Insert|Plate|Flat Plate Dialog

Give coordinates

for 4 corner points:

» Click 1st entry

» Click points 1, 2, 3 and 4

» Click twice to edit entries, X-values as shown

Click Apply


4th corner point






Step 11: Make the topside

• Copy lower deck twice:

9 m up (middle deck) and 17 m

up (upper deck)

• Create wall (Th4) in YZ plane:

Insert|Plate|Flat Plate

(or press in the

upper left of the GUI)

Click 4 corner points:

• Copy first vertical wall three times

• Create wall (Th2) in XZ plane

where conductors hit lower deck


1 2

3 4






Step 11: Distribute the additional

topside mass

• This tutorial assumes distribution of

additional masses by means of point

masses.

• You insert the mass points by using

Insert|Mass

Click in the position field first

before you click on the position

on the model

• The rest of the point masses are added:







Step 11: Make sets for use in

hydrodynamic modelling and

code checking

• Select graphically the relevant parts,

RMB > Named Sets and make named

sets for

Jacket

Legs

Topside







Step 11: Control the mesh of the

topside

• GeniE will produce a default mesh of

the topside

Notice the node positions where

the conductors are connected

• You may decide to control it by using

Feature Edges

Insert|Feature Edge

• One way of doing it is as shown below

This is not necessary, but it

gives you an idea on how to

control the mesh

Click in the first input field and

then on the model where the

conductor intersect the bottom

plate. Subtract -10.5 meters in

the y-direction

Do the same for input field

number 2, but add 4.5 meters in

the y-direction

Copy the feature edge (select,

RMB, and copy) to the other

conductor intersections







Step 11: Control the mesh of the

topside

• Copy feature edges Fedge1-3 to the

decks above

• Add vertical feature edges as shown

• The finite element mesh now becomes

The yellow dots indicate point

masses on the FE model







Step 12: Define the piles

• Piles are basically the same as beamS, but they

need additional information – “pile

characteristics”

• Select Edit|Properties > Pile Characteristics,

define the PileType1 and give the input data as

shown

• You may change the properties from the browser

as shown (select PileType1 and RMB)

• Set section Pipe21 to default

• Switch modelling mode from beams to piles

• Make the first pile by the following sequence:

Click on the start point, in this case the

bottom part of the leg

GeniE will then ask you for the lower z-

elevation of the pile, please enter -75

meters

GeniE now expects you to define the

orientation of the pile. You move the

mouse over the beam as shown and when

clicking GeniE inserts the pile in it’s

correct position

» Notice the colour of the beam when moving the mouse over it.

• Select Pile1 and apply the PileType1 to it

• Define piles Pile2-4 in the 3 other corners by

following the same procedure as described

above.








• At this stage the model looks like

The section types are colour coded

• Change details for step length, number of steps


• A total of 9 wave load cases will be generated

Direction 270 deg WLC1 & 2 (max shear and moment respectively, north direction)

Direction 180 deg WLC3 & 4 (max shear and moment respectively, east direction)

Direction 90 deg WLC 5 & 6 (max shear and moment respectively, south direction)

Direction 0 deg WLC 7 & 8 (max shear and moment respectively, west direction)

Step 20: Make load combinations

• The load combinations are made as combinations from the various basic and

wave load cases, the table below explains the combinations

• You define a loadcombination from Insert|Load Combination

GeniE assumes that all

loadcases are part of a

loadcombination

To deselect simply click in

the right fields

To change the loadfactor

doubleclick the actual

load case

To verify, select the load

combination from browser

Step 21: Start the analysis

• The analysis is started from the Tools|Analysis|Activity Monitor or by Alt+D

If you do not want to run the compete workflow, simply deselect the

actual activity

• During execution, GeniE will tell you what the status is

Part 6 – Run the analysis






Step 21: Start the analysis

• When the analysis is done it is easy for you to verify the details of each

analysis run

Select the relevant activity, RMB and decide which information you will

investigate

The example below shows how to look at the results from the pile

analysis as well as the final retracking

Part 6 – Run the analysis






Step 22: Present results

• You may present results for displacements, stresses or beam forces (and

moments) directly on the concepts from inside GeniE.

Make sure analysis was successfully run

Use a pre-defined view for results presentation

(or a view defined by yourself from ALT+O).

» Use Results - All or Results - with Mesh

• You select type of results attribute to show from

Tools|Analysis|Presentation or ALT+P

The example below shows that displacements is set to default

presentation for this model using contour plotting and showing

deformed shape.

Part 7 – Present results







• In the example below results attribute is set to bending moment

Mxy. Furthermore, the results are shown using contour plot.

• In the below case, a 3D option is used








• The bending moment is shown with a diagram

• The bending moment is shown for beams at elevation +105 meters.

Tip select these beams from a structure view, Alt+S (Show selection

only), then go to view Results – with Mesh and click update

You add numerical values by








• You may also use the 2D graphing tool to present results

• In this example the shear force and bending moment are shown for one of the

main legs







Step 24: Code checking

• The code checking of members and tubular joints is also done in GeniE. See

one of the other tutorials how to perform and report code check results

• Below is an example of code checking results
