Abstract
The 3D finite element analysis software X-SEA has been
developed to solve the offshore structures including oil & gas platforms and wind turbine farms.
The current version of X-SEA combining with the pre& post Processors of FAST 8 includes
the results of extensive research and development base on finite element program XFINAS,
which was originally developed in Imperial College, London. The solution of the X-SEA ranges from
the simple static, to highly advanced dynamic analysis applied to the offshore structures. In this
research, three types of the offshore wind turbine platforms are used to compare and validate the
X-SEA with FAST 8 and original FAST 8 program. The results of XSEA with FAST 8
show the six components at top of tower are identical with the original FAST program.
