Floaters
Integrated: Results from Sesam HydroD
(hydrodynamic frequency or time domain
analysis) imported into Sesam GeniE
No load transfer: Accelerations or RAO are
computed in Sesam HydroD and used as
basis for load-cases in Sesam GeniE
Deadweight loads
From structural mass x gravity
From point masses x gravity
Blanket loads (evenly distributed mass)
Equipment (including import of data
from weight control systems)
Specific pressure loads, point or line
loads
Temperature loads on beams
Compartment loads
