Mooring & Catenary Tool for Offshore Mooring configuration
Anchor Planner
The Anchor planning application is the perfect solution for computing, plotting, and exporting catenary calculations for mooring systems. GIS compatible, multi-buoy, dynamic linking to change of Tanker/Rig/FPSO position.
Import XYZ bathymetry data to ensure seabed clearance, the application provides accurate and detailed seabed profiles. Users can define obstructions as hazards and overlay different wire tensions for individual catenary plots.
The vessel designer feature allows users to create accurate vessel shapes and offset points for CRP and fairleads, mooring lines can be assigned to a fairlead, when the vessel position is moved e.g. from standoff to final location, all mooring lines are re-computed and catenaries plotted.
Configuration
-
Vessel shapes can be defined in detail.
-
Coordinate systems use EPSG codes for CRS.
-
A database of mooring line components e.g. chain, wire, anchors & buoys can be built.
-
Up to 12 mooring lines for a vessel.
-
Multiple buoy supports can be configured.
-
Tensions can be overlaid for comparison.
-
Interactive mouse to correlate the plan view and the selected catenary plot.
-
PDF report produced for a particular configuration.
Compatibility
-
GIS background to import standard .SHP, .GRD etc formats.
-
Option to interface with GPS and Gyro for live catenary plots and seabed dynamic clearance.
