An Integrated Program System for Response Analysis of Offshore Structures

This paper presents an outline of a comprehensive program system developed by the authors, which includes many functions for response analysis of a wide variety of offshore structures. Typical calculated results by this system are also presented being compared with field measurements and model test data as well as calculations by the other analysis programs. Through the comparative calculations the validity and flexible applicability of the system have been confirmed and the results presented here may be valuable and useful for the designers and researchers of offshore structures.
