Abstract

See full text

An embodiment of a method of assessing characteristics of a proposed offshore structure design includes: receiving input data from a user via a user interface, the input data including characteristics of a proposed design of an offshore structure; estimating, by a processor, a weight of the offshore structure and expected forces on the structure based on the input data; calculating allowable stresses and stability of the offshore structure based on the estimated weight and expected forces; estimating a cost of fabrication of the offshore structure based on the input data; estimating a cost of transportation and installation of the offshore structure based on the input data; calculating a total estimated cost of the offshore structure based on the cost of fabrication and the cost of transportation and assembly; and outputting the estimated weight, expected forces and total cost to the user via a display.
