Stewart Technology Associates Utilizes OrcaFlex Software for High Quality Analysis

For the world’s leading dynamic offshore marine systems analyses package, look no further than OrcaFlex, which is offered by Orcina and which also happens to be the preferred analysis tool of Stewart Technology Associates, your premier source for top-notch marine engineering consultancy services. Since 1985, Stewart Technology Associates has been working with Orcina and their versatile, robust, and user-friendly software product in order to engage in a tremendous amount of high quality marine engineering analyses.

With the OrcaFlex Software, Stewart Technology Associates is able to perform quality analysis of a variety of applications with relative ease. These applications can include: riser systems, such as flexible risers, drilling risers, top-tensioned production risers on floating production platforms, hybrid risers, steel catenary risers, and umbilicals; mooring systems, such as spread moored systems, harbor and jetty moorings, and single point moored systems; towed systems, such as seismic arrays, towed fish, towed bundles, and towed single/multiple surface vessels; special buoy systems, such as oceanographic buoys, defense system buoys, bottom deployed systems, air deployed systems, and underwater arrays; wave powered systems; installation analysis, such as flowline pull-ins, j-tube installations, float over and set-down analysis; cable laying analysis; pipe lay analysis; as well as a myriad of other applications. As you can see, this high quality software is useful in a variety of ways and provides everything necessary to complete a detailed and high quality analysis of a number of vital marine engineering applications.

One of the greatest qualities inherent in the OrcaFlex software is its extreme user friendliness. Unlike other marine technology software products available, this software is also preferred by Stewart Technology Associates due to its intuitive nature and ease of use. This software features a fully interactive graphical user interface which can display both 2D as well as full 3D profiles. Needless to say, this software is a favorite of Stewart Technology Associates for a number of great reasons, and is also used by over 170 other large marine organizations all over the world.

Stewart Technology Associates is also currently providing an OrcaFlex demo video on our website, which you will be able to view simply by clicking on the flash video player. The demo features a resealable turret simulation in three different perspectives. This demo will be able to provide you with a fairly good idea of how well this software can function.
