#TOPCAT MARINE SERIES#
Assuming that the platform capacity is governed by the capacities of its components as a series system, then the platform will fail when any one of its components fail.

The program will calculate the reliability in terms of a safety index. In addition to the ultimate capacity analysis, the user may also perform a limited reliability analysis by specifying statistical information on the uncertainties associated with the different strength components. Grouted joints, braces having significant out-of-straightness or dented members can also be included in any analysis. The soil beneath the platform can be specified as having multiple layers of either sand or clay with different strength properties. The program will accept input for a guyed caisson and three, four, six eight and twelve leg jacket structures. Decks, boat landings and conductor are input as non-structural members which collect load. 2007 Conquest Top Cat II Please contact the owner 66.

TOPCAT is oriented towards accessing the load carrying capacity of major structural members such as legs, diagonal bracing, unbraced deck legs, caisson guy-wires and piles. TOPCAT enables the user to quickly develop a simple structural model for one of several standard platform types and then analyze the model for the following conditions:įatigue resulting from cyclic wave loading The program consists of pre-processing features, which allows a user to input the basic geometry and member characteristics in a number of different ways computational routines for storm, earthquake, and fatigue analysis post-processing features which allow the user to generate reports and view results in a graphical form. TOPCAT is an analysis program intended for the preliminary structural design and assessment of fixed steel offshore platforms. 'Make Top Cat Marine your one stop shop for all your boating needs.' (813) 995-0008. TOPCAT 1–3 (Template Offshore Platform Capacity Assessment Tools) is an outgrowth of the ULSLEA (Ultimate Limit State Equilibrium Analysis) program previously developed by the Marine Technology and Management Group at University College Berkeley.
