Understanding and Predicting Offshore Crash Scenarios—Before They Happen
Ansys LS-DYNA in Real-World Offshore Projects
Overview
Offshore structures face increasing collision and impact risks, often under extreme environmental conditions. Accurate prediction of these events is essential for safe design, risk mitigation, and operational reliability.
This session combines technical insight with practical experience, offering a clear view of how advanced simulation supports safer and more resilient offshore design.
February 12th, 2026 I 11.00 - 11.30 I Online
Application Engineer A.Purantagi and guest speaker Senior Structural Engineer G.Vandeberg from IV-Infra walk through how Ansys LS-DYNA is used to model and analyze complex offshore crash scenarios, enabling engineers to accurately assess structural behavior, damage progression, and safety performance ahead of real-world events.
What You'll Learn
- How Ansys LS-DYNA is used to simulate offshore crash and collision scenarios
- Key techniques for modeling nonlinear behavior, large deformations, and high-energy impact events
- How to evaluate structural response, damage progression, and safety performance
- Best practices and lessons learned from a real-world offshore case study by IV-Infra
- How simulation results can support risk assessment and design decision-making
Real-World Case Study by IV-Infra
A key highlight of this webinar is a real offshore project case study presented by G.V. from IV-Infra. The case study demonstrates how LS-DYNA was applied to simulate a complex offshore crash scenario involving collision events under realistic environmental conditions.
The presentation will showcase:
- Practical modeling approaches used in an actual project
- Visualization of damage to critical structural and vessel components
- Challenges encountered during simulation and how they were addressed
- Engineering insights gained to support safer offshore operations
This real-world perspective bridges the gap between theory and practice, providing valuable takeaways for engineers working on offshore infrastructure projects.
