Graphical User Interface FPSO-JIP week October 17, 2002 Jos van Doorn (MARIN)

Contents General idea Shuttle for dummies? General structure of database Generic databases Project or case structure Database structure Simulations Analyzing

Objective Develop and validate a tool for: evaluation of the design and operation, assessment of limiting weather criteria safety of offshore offloading operations

Tool development (Shuttle) Phase 1 Definition of the Graphical User Interface Formulation of the numerical model

Definition Graphical User Interface How will the interface look like? How can we work with the interface? Methodology: MARIN expert team; Definition of ‘Look alike screens’ in Excel + Explorer; Discussion with Hielke Brugts JIP tool team.

Preparation Ship, FPSO and buoy data; Towing lines and Hawsers; Mooring systems; Configuration; Environment; Tracks.

Simulation Offloading runs; Manoeuvring runs. Analyses Results
