New Sesam releases in Q1 2010

We are proud to announce new releases of key Sesam products during the first quarter of 2010 focusing improved user efficiency as well as new functionalities.

For GeniE - the new features are particularly related to code checking of plates (DNV RP C201.2 or PULS), re-use of data as defined in DNV rule check of tankers to create a 3 cargo hold model, improved finite element meshing capabilities and better support for modelling of very large models using 64bit technology.

There are also major enhancements to HydroD - in particular support for Morison elements for non-linear analysis (Wasim), up to 15 individual bodies in a multibody analysis (Wadam), 5th order Stokes wave theory on finite depth in addition to infinite depth for non-linear analysis. In addition, the same model as created by GeniE can now be used to define both a panel model and a Morison model - i.e. there is no need anymore to have these as separete superelements.

Furthermore, we have simplified the amount of work for engineers performing jacket launch analyses. The new version of Installjac takes advantage of eccentricities as defined in GeniE so that it is no longer a need to define additional end-cut data.

Finally, we have also released a new version of DeepC that includes some error corrections and new versions of Riflex and Simo.
