Riser Analysis using OrcaFlex Online Training Certification Course Course Overview

Riser Analysis using OrcaFlex Training by Multisoft Systems is designed for engineers and professionals involved in offshore, subsea, marine, and floating production systems who want to understand the modelling and analysis of risers using OrcaFlex. The course introduces the engineering principles governing riser behaviour and demonstrates how these principles can be represented within an OrcaFlex simulation environment.

Participants learn to define riser geometry, structural and hydrodynamic properties, environmental conditions, seabed interaction, vessel motions, boundary conditions, and loading scenarios. The training progresses from model preparation and static equilibrium analysis to dynamic simulations for evaluating riser response under waves, currents, vessel motions, and operational conditions.

Greater emphasis is placed on practical engineering interpretation rather than simply operating the software. Learners explore effective tension, curvature, bending moment, displacement, touchdown behaviour, clearance, stress-related responses, and fatigue considerations. Practical exercises help participants establish a systematic workflow for setting up, checking, running, and interpreting OrcaFlex riser analysis models.
