Orcaflex Insights

What is Orcaflex?

OrcaFlex is a leading software package for the dynamic analysis of offshore marine systems, including moorings, risers, and cables. It is commonly used in the offshore oil and gas, renewable energy, and aquaculture industries to simulate and analyze the behavior of floating structures and subsea equipment under various environmental conditions (waves, current, wind). It helps engineers design safe and efficient offshore systems by predicting their response to environmental loads and assessing their structural integrity.
