Cost Effective:

• A management tool for reducing costs of offshore systems planning.
• A management tool for reducing costs of initial operations.
• A management tool for reducing costs of long term maintenance and operations.
• A management tool for reducing costs of relocation and adaptation.
• A management tool for reducing engineering costs.

Consolidated Engineering Efforts:

• Allows one group of engineers to work with the same tool.
• Allows consolidation of all design and operations data in one program model and database.
• Allows reduction of engineering manhours on any particular project.
• Allows parent company, primary contractor and subcontractors the same or subset programs to easily and quickly exchange and check data.

Reduces Engineering Time:

• Provides a tool for thorough investigation of operations effects on systems at any stage.
• Reduces engineering time of structural design and operations simulation input results.
• No interface development needed.
• No re-coding of operations loads for structural design

Improved Design:

• Provides engineers with all simulated operations loads desired.
• Allows easy interactive analysis of operations results.

Provides Overall View of Operations Effect:

• Provides a management tool for planning operations with realistic effect.
• Provides quick results of design or operations simulation changes.
• Hypothetical designs and simulations made quickly and may be filed for re-use and revision.

Promotes More Exacting Design and Operations Efforts:

• Provides calculated data on various operations simulations and effects on system.
• Easily performs parametric studies, exploring various "what if" scenarios.

Promotes Safety:

• Provides improved design as insurance of investment against environmental and other considerations.
• Fatigue calculations provide long-term endurance.
• Predictability of system allows management a better view for planning.

Functions Separately Available:

• Separately available functions provide contractor and service companies reduced cost.
• Separate functions furnish simplified "on target" solutions.
• Separate available functions can provide a method of close working relationship between initial investment companies, prime and sub-contractors.
