EDITORIAL: The key to a sustainable future
DNV's new vision is 'Global impact for a safe and sustainable future'. How will DNV Software contribute to achieve this goal? Can software help save the environment? All industries can improve their environmental performance, and we believe that software has a key role to play.
Environmental responsiveness
DNV Software's Environmental Performance System (EPS) helps transform multiple environmental data sources into 'best efforts'.
Enhanced effort to fight climate change
Gro Oftedal has been appointed program director for DNV Software's enhanced effort to fight climate change.
Close to our Chinese customers
DNV Software has served the maritime, offshore and process industries in the region of Greater China for many years. Our main brand products - Nauticus, Sesam and Safeti - have earned a formidable reputation in the market, enabling us to build an extensive customer base over the years.
Continuous control of hull condition creates business advantages
The shipping industry is increasingly focusing on hull integrity - both for reasons of safety and of cost-efficiency. Continous control of a ship's hull condition creates business advantages to ship operators and owners, providing an important selling point in relation to charterers.
BMT TITRON on fast track for Nauticus Early Design
BMT TITRON , based in Newcastle, UK, recently purchased DNV Software’s Nauticus Early Design package.
Nauticus Early Design - release
Customers have played an important role in the current release of Nauticus Early Design, based both on pre-studies and on implementation projects.
Nauticus Machinery release
The new release of Nauticus Machinery significantly improves how to share calculation-related information within a project team, and ultimately ensures high efficiency and best practice.
Experience in production
The Nauticus Machinery tools are developed in close cooperation with DNV technical experts and with other major users with extensive knowledge of marine propulsion systems.
Hull flexibility and effects on shaft alignment
DNV is currently running a major research programme to investigate the effects of hull flexibility on various ships types.
Nauticus Hull release
Focus has been on enhancing both productivity and quality of ship design and approval work. With this release we have made a leap toward the future of class rule software.
GeniE - now supporting code check of plated structures
With the new automatic code check for yield and buckling of plated structures, GeniE strengthens its position as the preferred structural analysis tool.
Sesam Fixed Structures - From conceptual engineering to decommissioning
50 years of experience in developing quality software has led to the most flexible solution for integrating engineering tasks, applications and results.
Powerful fluke anchor design tool
To avoid or manage the consequences of dragging anchor when being installed on a congested seabed, particularly where the soil is layered, the anchor behaviour must be reliably predicted. To deal with this, DNV is launching DeepC for anchor analysis, DIGIN, a powerful fluke anchor design tool with a state-of-the-art graphical user interface.
Non-linear hydrodynamics of offshore structures
There is a growing need for more advanced hydrodynamic analysis of offshore structures. To support this, DNV Software has enhanced its computational engine to include such nonlinearities.
Closing the design loop with concept technology
The concept technologies in Sesam and Nauticus Hull give our customers many important advantages, including less time used from modelling to results, and the simplicity of making design changes.
Sesam goes green
Orecon Ltd., a wave energy device developer, based in south-west UK, recently purchased a Sesam package for analysis of their MRC (Multi Resonant Chambers) device for conversion of wave energy to ‘clean power’.
Reliable design of steel risers
As oil exploration activities move rapidly into deeper waters and harsher environments, existing technologies will reach their limits. New challenges occur when moving into deeper waters; DNV is prepared for that move.
Sesam program updates
The new release provides improved design capabilites focusing on fatigue and unique graphical reporting.
Orbit+ Pipeline - Supporting integrity management of pipeline systems
ORBIT+ Pipeline is DNV Software’s new generation software for Pipeline Integrity Management (PIM). It builds on the powerful analysis capabilities of previous Orbit+ Pipeline versions. The tool is designed to cover both offshore and onshore PIM.
Risk Based Inspection
Life cycle inspection management ensuring safer operation and better business performance. Safeti RBI is a life cycle solution assisting you in managing your plant as conditions continously change.
Phast release
The major objective of this release is to support Microsoft Vista, which is increasingly used by our customers.
Safe management of oil tanks
An agreement has been signed between China Special Equipment Inspection & Research Centre (CSEI) and DNV on Orbit Onshore AST.
Breakthrough for Safeti RBI in Thailand
SCG CHEMICALS and DNV Software have signed a purchase agreement on the Risk Based Inspection (RBI) software Orbit Onshore and Orbit+ IDS.
Arctic Design and LNG Seminar
April saw DNV Energy in France host DNV's first Arctic Design and LNG Seminar in Paris. The meeting's aim was to offer a forum for designers, operators and service providers in the energy industry to talk about key aspects of this area of current global focus.
High level of activity for Safeti in the Middle East and North Africa
With the large number of Safeti customers in the Middle East and North Africa, DNV Software has been very active in this region during the past few months - both supplying training and attending a number of key process idustry conferences.
