| Summary: | In the arctic offshore industry auxiliary systems are required for adequate living and working conditions. These systems com-prise pipes and service modules on LNG ships as well as work and accommodation modules on offshore platforms. The object of this paper is an overview about the approach to simulate the different mounting systems on offshore/ship-structures in arctic regions: Which assumptions are made in the simulations? Which forces act on the systems? How are the results accomplished- by parameter studies, sub-model-technique? Where are the chal-lenges located in the simulation? How can the runtime of the simulations be reduced? In the case of pipe mountings, two different phases- installa-tion and operation mode- as well as the cooling down of the insulating material between the two phases are considered. The |
