About Sesam HydroD

HydroD is a hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analysis tool which can operate both in the frequency and time domains. Typical applications are load calculations, stability assessment and rule checking of offshore structures. It can handle fixed and floating structures, and the physical model used in the calculations might be imported from GeniE to save modelling time if both hydrodynamic and structural calculations are to be done.
