OrcaFlex 11.5e is the latest minor update in the OrcaFlex 11.5 series, a market-leading software package from Orcina for the dynamic analysis of offshore marine systems. Released on July 10, 2025, this version primarily addresses a significant GUI bug introduced in the prior 11.5d release, ensuring more stable user interactions during model setup and visualization. OrcaFlex excels in simulating complex offshore structures like risers, mooring lines, umbilicals, and pipelines under environmental loads, supporting industries such as oil & gas, renewables, and aquaculture. It uses advanced time-domain and frequency-domain solvers to predict responses to waves, currents, wind, and seismic events, enabling safer and more efficient designs. The 11.5 series, of which 11.5e is the current culmination, was initially launched in December...
OrcaFlex 11.5, released by Orcina on December 12, 2024, introduces several advanced features for offshore marine system analysis: – **Buried and Covered Lines**: Models soil interaction for buried pipelines, supporting upheaval buckling and pipe ratcheting analysis. – **Synthetic Ropes**: Incorporates rate-dependent stiffness for accurate rope behavior modeling. – **Turbine Enhancements**: Adds initial rotor angular velocity for wind turbine simulations. – **Performance Improvements**: Optimizes runtime for faster dynamic simulations. – **Modeless Data Forms**: Allows simultaneous interaction with multiple data forms for improved workflow. – **Spring/Damper Connections**: Enhances connection modeling for flexible structures. – **Frequency Domain Solver**: Supports multibody groups, vessel wind/current load results, and post-analysis data modifications (e.g., wave/wind seeds).
