Lifting Platform in Jack-Up Offshore Platform Based on Virtual Prototyping

Abstract

This paper put forward a systematic design method based on virtual prototyping technology to simulate lifting platform of jacking system in jack-up offshore platform. After the main parameters of lifting platform in jack-up offshore platform were introduced, the 800T offshore platform modeling techniques were put forward, such as rigid body modeling techniques, flexible body modeling techniques, modal analysis techniques and kinematics analysis. The dynamics analysis was present with the simulation results, which demonstrates that this method is obviously helpful to get more accurate simulation results to verify the rationality of lifting platform in jack-up offshore platform.
