AquaHarmony is an addon to the AquaSim package. It is a data processing tool for denoising and filtering of current measurements.

The basic concept of the software is to apply Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for denoising of measurements. Fourier analysis is the study of how general functions can be presented as the sum of simpler harmonic functions. This is reflected by the name AquaHarmony; harmonic functions. The measurements are decomposed into harmonic functions and filtered by setting criteria for how data should be filtered. The sum of these criteria is called the denoising condition. The filtered measurements may then be applied in further processing for e.g. Site Reports in accordance with NS9415.

AquaSim is a finite elements software developed for analysis of structures exposed to static and dynamic loading, with emphasis on solving problems involving environmental loads such as waves, current and wind. The program is suited for analysis where structural response, hydrodynamic loading and system dynamics must be considered together, including both flexible and rigid structures.

Structural analysis

AquaSim performs nonlinear finite element analysis of structures with large displacements and geometric nonlinearity. Both static and dynamic response can be analyzed in the time domain. Typical analyses include:

“Support” The expected support rendered by Aquastructures.

AquaSim is a result of many years of research at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). It was first launched in 2002, and up until today the software has been validated from analytical solutions and tank tests. The development of AquaSim started when the industry demanded an analysis tool providing possibilities to simulate structures deforming heavily under the influence of current, winds and waves. The indisputable advantage of the software is that it considers hydroelasticity, which means that structures deform under the influence of external loads. This forms a good basis for compliance studies and realistic calculations.
