10 INPLACE ANALYSIS WITH PSI
In-place analysis requires the combined Jacket and topsides model to be created inSACS using Preceed-Pro and DataGen modules The steps are as follows -
1 Define the basic Jacket framing using the Jacket wizard in Preceed-Pro which defines the leg batter conductor spacing and leg andor skirt pile details
2 Title this input file as lsquosacinprsquo where is the user-defined title The file contains the model data member properties defined using Section and Groups It also contains all the load data wind areas Cd Cm values and Marine growth
3 Define the Pile and soil properties are specified separately in the lsquopsiinprsquo file The soil properties specified are attached from the joints specified as lsquoPILEHDrsquo in fixity in the sacinp file All soil properties should be defined in the order of axial end bearing torsional and lateral stiffness An initial pile penetration depth needs to be assumed This has to be specified in the PLGRUP card
4 Create the Joint Can check input file called lsquojcninprsquo where the load cases for which the joint can unity check needs to be performed is specified in this file
5 Select lsquoLinear Static with PSI Analysisrsquo option in the Runfile Wizard and select all the above 3 files in the appropriate sections and run the analysis
6 The output file lsquopsilstrsquo specifies the pile capacities mobilised versus the capacity required and gives a pile UC ratio value
7 Open the lsquopsvdbrsquo folder and check the member UC ratios graphically The joint can UC ratios need to be checked in the lsquopsilstrsquo file
20 MODAL ANALYSIS
Modal analysis is carried out to determine the various mode shapes of the platform requires the combined Jacket and topsides model to be created in SACS using Preceed-Pro and DataGen modules The steps are as follows -
1 Make a copy of the sacinp file Rename the new file and make changes in the LDOPT line from NSM to DYN Further in the LCSEL change the command from ST to DYN
2 Specify the retained degrees of freedom as 222000 Normally the corner joints of the jacket and deck are specified as retained DOFrsquoS
3 Retain only permanent loads on the structure Remove all other Load Data Convert all NGDL weights from Buoyant weights to Dry Weights
4 Assuming that superelement is absent take max reactions from the psilst file and create a single pile analysis file called pilinp in which these forces are added using the PLSTUB card
5 Run single pile analysis and get equivalent pile stub properties Add these pile stub properties to the sacinp file along with its group and section properties
6 Create dyninp file and specify number of modes to be extracted
7 With the modified sacinp and the dyninp file run a analysis in extract mode shapes and check dynlst file for frequency and mass participation factor This factor should be 95 at least
30 FATIGUE ANALYSIS
1 Make a copy of the inplace sacinp file Rename the file as sacinpfatigue
2 Make following changes to this file
a) In the LDOPT card change the Water Depth as per bid to account for absence of Storm Surge
b) Change the Cd and Cm values
c) Delete all loads except wave loads
d) Change the Kinematic factor to 10(see bid) in the WAVE card
e) In the Wave Height field change the wave height to Average wave height of the specific wave
f) Enter MS for obtaining maximumbase shear value
g) Delete all Load combinations from this file
h) Advance the wave in steps of 4degrees
i) The number of static steps will therefore be 3604 = 90
3 Run this file in Static 1048774 Linear static analysis 1048774 Select sacinpfatigue
4 In the output listing a saclst file is obtained from which the crest positions for minimum and maximum shear can be found for different wave heights and different wave directions
5 Obtain three angles between angle1(X) and angle 2(Y) as (Y-X)4 and remaining three angles as ((360-Y)+X)4
6 Enter the 6+2 angles in the sacinp file and change the number of steps to1 in increments of 1degree
7 Run the sacinp file in Linear Static Analysis

11 Initially apply API X Prime for source of S-N curve ie APP
12 For SCFrsquos use Kuang amp Wordsworth for all joints initially
13 In the FTOPT2 card give PT Export Fatigue data Tubular Inline Check Inline Tubular SCF-AWS and Effective Thickness Ratio-2WAL
14 Specify the SCF limits in the SCFLM card as a maximum of 60 and a minimum of 16
15 For Grouted Joints enter Joint Override with SCF Option as Marshalls Method
16 In the GRPSEL RM card specify dummy structures appurtenances Risers and conductors which are not part of the main structural Member but attract Wave Load
17 In the EXTRAC HEAD AE card enter a cut off of 05 to extract joints which have a fatigue life of less than 50 years
18 Now in the Runfile Wizard go to Post 1048774 Fatigue Damage and Run the ftginp file with the saccsf file and note down the joints which have service life of less than 50 years
19 Now Extract these joints individually by using the EXTRAC card in the ftginp file
20 On running the file again as in step no18 a ftgext file is created automatically
21 In the ftgext file we can make changes in the Chord Thickness or S-N curve to be used etc to find the optimum change that has to be made to a chordbrace Note down the specific changes that need to be made for a specific joint
22 Now in the ftginp file enter the JNTOVR cards for the joint overrides that need to be specified as noted from the ftgext file
