OrcaFlex Training

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.

Ascents offers comprehensive OrcaFlex Training designed for engineers, analysts, and offshore professionals who want to develop practical expertise in dynamic marine simulation and offshore engineering analysis. This instructor-led course provides in-depth knowledge of OrcaFlex, one of the industry’s leading software solutions for analyzing the behavior of offshore structures, mooring systems, risers, pipelines, cables, and floating platforms under various environmental conditions. Through hands-on exercises and real-world engineering case studies, participants gain practical experience in building simulation models, performing dynamic analyses, and interpreting engineering results.

The training covers the complete OrcaFlex simulation workflow, including model creation, vessel and line modeling, environmental load definition, hydrodynamic properties, seabed interaction, mooring analysis, fatigue assessment, installation analysis, and result visualization. Participants also learn industry best practices for model validation, troubleshooting simulation issues, and generating engineering reports that support offshore project design and execution.

Delivered by experienced industry professionals, this course is ideal for engineers working in offshore oil & gas, subsea engineering, floating offshore wind, renewable energy, marine construction, and naval architecture. Upon completion, learners will be equipped with the practical skills required to confidently use OrcaFlex for offshore engineering simulations, improve design accuracy, optimize system performance, and contribute effectively to complex offshore and marine projects.
