MOSES

Conquer the complexity of marine operations with simulation

MOSES is integrated offshore simulation software. This advanced hydrostatic and hydrodynamic software ensures that you can apply industry best practices to installation and design sequences, while exploring design alternatives within a unified modeling environment. Bentley MOSES integrated simulation software helps you minimize offshore project risks with optimal designs.

MOSES is offered in different variations, so you can choose what?s best for you.

Automate performance analysis

Easily analyze floating systems across a range of operating conditions using simulation language to define environmental conditions, specify mooring configurations, and run integrated solvers in a unified environment.

Model offshore vessels and platforms

Use interactive graphical tools specific to offshore structures to prepare models of your vessels and floating systems. Help ensure accurate loading definition by visualizing tank and compartment models during modification.

Simulate marine operations

Leverage comprehensive and customizable scripting tools and pre-defined macros to explore design alternatives and manage complex installation sequences.

MOSES

Analyze stability and motions in the frequency domain cost-effectively with MOSES. Enjoy hull and compartment modeling, as well as strip theory and 3D diffraction analysis.

The modules included in all MOSES packages include:

• MOSES Solver: Allows you to consider all type of forces acting on your floating systems, including hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, inertial, and mooring forces.
• MOSES Language: Provides a unique, flexible, and powerful way of specifying system behavior and analyzing performance for different installations and operational conditions.
• Hull Modeler: Gives you an interactive way to create 3D hull shapes.
• Stability Modeler: Allows you to model compartmentation and load case management.
• Motions Modeler: Provides the tools for modeling environmental and mooring inputs.
• Hull Mesher: Enables you to graphically represent structural models.
• Basic Connectors: Offer a generalized way of modeling lifting slings, anchor lines, mooring lines, nonlinear springs, pins, fenders, and other items that connect two bodies or a body to the ground. Connectors can be tension-only or compression-only and custom connectors can be defined.
  • Lift, lower, or upend with multiple slings and hooks
  • Activate or deactivate to simulate breaking or re-rigging
  • Move anchors to achieve a specified tension
  • Hold hooks at elevation or load while flooding or pumping
  • Catenary mooring lines with buoys or clump weights
  • Nonlinear springs with tension or compression only
  • Gaps, pins, and lines provide constraints to motion
• Strip Theory: Provides a fast and proven way to predict the motions of your vessel. It is well suited for barge transports and any vessel that is slender in its L/B (length/beam) ratio.
  • RAOs (response amplitude operators) at CG (center of gravity) or remote locations
  • Standard and user-defined spectra
  • Statistical multipliers or storm duration definition
• 3D Diffraction: Allows you to predict motions for non-ship shaped hulls and account for surge. Adaptive meshing automatically increases panel mesh density as required.
  • Hull Modeler automatically generates hydrodynamic meshes
  • Non-linear, slowly varying, wave drift forces
