Dear All.

I am relatively new to Offshore stress analysis.I would like to know from stress community ,the standard set of load cases to be considered in Caesar for FPSO projects .

I need to consider HOGG ,SAGG,SWAY due to ship acceleration and FATIGUE .

Whether Ship acceleration and Wind has to be cosidered acting simultaneously or they can be considered acting seperately with the operating case .

Thank you

This is a very complex analysis. It is well known that inadaquate stress analysis of FPSO piping can lead to fatigue failure in a period of just a few days.

You will need to run and combine upwards of 30 load cases. You need expert help. Urgently.
