Requirements
- Basic engineering maths (vectors, units, graphs)
- Comfort with mechanics basics (forces, stiffness, damping)
- Familiarity with offshore terms (riser, mooring, RAO) helps, but not mandatory
- A Windows laptop/desktop for practice (software access depends on your setup)
Features
- Live Project-Based Training
- Expert-Led Sessions
- Flexible Learning Options
- Interactive Learning
- Comprehensive Study Material
- Globally Recognized Certification
- One-on-One Mentorship
Target audiences
- Offshore/Subsea engineers (moorings, risers, umbilicals, cables)
- Naval architects and marine design engineers
- Offshore wind engineers (mooring/cable/installation analysis)
- Installation, towing, and marine operations teams
- Final-year students/graduates aiming for offshore simulation roles
If you work on offshore projects, you already know that “good enough” spreadsheets don’t survive real sea states. Our OrcaFlex Training is built around the way engineers actually use OrcaFlex: modelling offshore marine systems, running statics, then time-domain dynamics to check tensions, clearances, fatigue hot spots, and operational limits.
In this OrcaFlex Training, you’ll build models from scratch—mooring spreads, turret systems, SCRs, flexible risers, umbilicals, and cable-like structures—using practical templates and real project-style inputs (metocean, vessel motion, seabed contact, line/shape interaction, winches, and installation steps). You’ll also learn common troubleshooting: convergence issues, damping choices, and “why is my line going unstable?”
What makes this OrcaFlex Training different at Ascents Learning is the focus on repeatability. You’ll learn how to organise data, run parametric cases, and automate checks using the OrcaFlex API/DLL approach when the model count gets large.
By the end, you can confidently set up, run, and interpret OrcaFlex simulations for moorings, risers, and offshore wind support work—and explain your assumptions. If you want hands-on OrcaFlex Training that feels like the office, Ascents Learning is a solid place to start.
