Outline of MOSES Uses
With the generality necessary to convey the comprehensive nature of MOSES, it is often unclear precisely what type of problem that MOSES can handle. Below, a brief list of tasks that have been successfully tackled is given. This list, of course, is not complete since MOSES is extraordinarily adaptable.
  • Traditional hydrostatics
  • Ballasting during loadout
  • Stress analysis during loadout
  • Multi-Point mooring design and analysis
  • Tanker berthing analysis
  • CALM and SALM analysis
  • Simulation and stress analysis of lifting structure off of a barge and lowering it into the sea.
  • Pipelaying from a stinger
  • Pipelaying from davits
  • Simulation and stress analysis of a jacket off of several barges including the flexibility of the barge in the stress analysis
  • Upending of a jacket and performing a stress analysis during the upending
  • Simulation of impact during mating operations
  • Mating of a deck with a TLP hull
  • In service stress analysis of a TLP
  • Transporation of a TLP
  • Transportation stress analysis of structures including the effect of the barge flexibility.
  • Installation of a compliant tower
  • Dynamic analysis of a tower being flooded
