I am wondering if anyone is familiar with SIMO by MARINTEK

The following is a brief introduction of SIMO: (http://www.sintef.no/Home/Marine/MARINTEK/Software-developed-at-MARINTEK/SIMO/)

SIMO (Simulation of Marine Operations)

SIMO is a time domain simulation program for multibody systems allows non-linear effects to be included in the wave-frequency range. Flexible modelling of stationkeeping forces and connecting force mechanisms (anchor lines, ropes, thrusters) is included.

The results from the program are presented as time traces, statistics and spectral analysis of all forces and motions of all bodies in the analysed system.

SIMO is a modular and interactive computer program with batch processing options.

Typical applications include: TLP Installation, Offshore Crane Operations, Floating production systems, Dynamic Positioning Systems, etc


Thanks a lot for your input.

Is there any company in Houston is using SIMO? I know our company's Norway office is using SIMO. Probably we will use it as well.

有没有朋友用过或听说过这个软件。我们主要用其做吊装分析，包括吊装物入水时的deployment analysis。那位朋友给介绍一下，如果好的话，我就想学一下。谢谢
