Most ever delegates for Sesam software
Sesam scored the highest number of delegates ever, 115 in total. This year two new modules of Sesam have been launched, Sima for marine operation and Sesam Wind for offshore wind turbine analysis. In the new version of Sesam GeniE, more advanced guiding geometry was introduced to help build models, allowing better compatibility with other programs. A new feature of Wadam, the hydrodynamic program, can calculate the dynamic effects of the tank fluid. With great support both from external customers and DNV colleagues, 16 topics were presented covering both fixed and floating structures, sharing valuable real project experiences and academic research. “Sesam is flexible enough for customized configuration, matched comprehensive procedures and standards, and fulfills our needs in the short and long term. We will use Sesam more and more in R&D and engineering,” said Dr Feng Qin, Chief Expert from Sinopec Shanghai.
In total there were 49 delegates from shipyards, design houses, engine makers and academic institutions joining in the Nauticus Machinery track. Advanced vessel shafting design tools in Nauticus Machinery were presented, including Shaft Alignment, Torsional Vibration, Shaft Fatigue ice-class and Controllable Pitch Mechanism. Users from Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI), Marine Design & Research Institute of China and Hudong Heavy Machinery (HHM), were invited to share their applications on practical projects. Internal users from Maritime presented new rules on shaft alignment and troubleshooting.
New features in software – Phast 3D Explosions
On the Phast and Safeti track, the new Phast 3D Explosions module was presented. The detailed vapour cloud explosion modelling and detailed directional modelling feature impressed the delegates. Dr Li Zhi Biao from CPPEI said, “It is good to see that Phast and Safeti have had great development during these years. The trend is now 3D modelling, and the Chinese version will make communication with local clients easier for us. We have decided to upgrade Safeti to the latest version next year. Another highlight is Safeti Offshore. The 3D graphics show both the geometry and the consequence envelopes, allowing hazard event size to be visualized, aiding understanding of escalation predictions.”
Professor Yu Qi Jie from Sinopec Engineering Institute said, “We are the first local user of Safeti Offshore, and it’s a great product. We are glad to see that DNV GL has put a lot of effort into it. Ten years collaboration with DNV GL is a win-win case.”
Synergi Life is still new to Chinese customers but it was the source of in-depth discussion in the QHSE track.
In this session, the representatives (both c-level and users) from Secco China, Thyssenkrupp China, COSL Drilling, CNOOC Group attended and actively participated in the half-day session. One of the most popular sessions was led by Mr Yang Jun, HSE Manager, COSL Drilling, as he presented the Synergi Life project implementation experience within COSL Drilling China during this year 2013. His presentation generated a great deal of interest and potential upsell opportunities in the Oil & Gas industry also other areas. Attendees were treated to presentations focused on the Synergi Life Incident Management module and the available features and functionality in version 12.2 of Synergi Life. The group was led in an interactive planning session focused on meetings and clients to host for the upcoming year with HSE information system planning.
Overall, it was a good event to demonstrate both the versatility of the DNV GL software products and solutions and the expertise of DNV GL in different industries.
