SACS and STAAD Software Optimizes Topside Modules Located in the Santos Basin off the coast of Brazil, the OSX-3 is a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel designed to produce and treat 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil. L&T-Valdel Engineering was commissioned by MODEC International to provide modularization design for the FPSO topside. The challenge was to complete the design of 15 modules and 10 pipe racks within 10 months. The company used SACS for modeling, analysis, and optimization of the FPSO topside structure and STAAD.Pro to design its tertiary steel. Bentley software was used to analyze the module for all static and dynamic loads observed during pre-service and in-service conditions. SACS improved design accuracy and visual clarity, which saved on-site construction time and reduced steel consumption by 10 percent.
