Engineering workflows, automated and checked
AceEngineer provides riser, hydrodynamic, asset integrity, cathodic protection and marine installation analysis for offshore engineering firms, EPC contractors and drilling contractors. We run that work as automated, checked workflows, with AI agents doing the repeat steps and an engineer signing the result, and we bring the same approach to independent contractors and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
OrcaFlex and AQWA batches, FEA post-processing and fatigue checks are topics for discussion under a separately agreed scope.
Core Automation Capabilities
Pre-built automation modules ready to integrate with your existing OrcaFlex, AQWA, and ANSYS workflows.
OrcaFlex Batch Processing
- Automated model generation from design matrices
- Parametric sensitivity studies (50-100+ configurations)
- Results extraction to standardized reports
- VIV analysis and fatigue post-processing
AQWA Hydrodynamic Automation
- Batch vessel motion analysis for multiple sea states
- RAO processing and response statistics
- Operability window calculations
- Multi-body interaction studies
Fatigue Analysis Library
- S-N curve lookup and fatigue assessment
- DNV-RP-C203, API RP 2A, BS 7608, ABS, Norsok
- Automated SCF calculation and damage assessment
- Batch processing for 200+ joints
Mooring & Riser Design
- SALM and CALM buoy system design
- Catenary analysis and anchor verification
- SCR and SLWR configuration optimization
- Installation engineering support
For Offshore Engineering Firms
Mid-market engineering consultancies with 10-50 engineers serving operators and contractors
Your Pain Points
- Manual Iteration Hell: Sensitivity studies require 50+ model variations, each taking 30 min setup + 30 min extraction
- Standards Review Burden: DNV, API, ABS requirements constantly evolving; maintaining S-N curve libraries is tedious
- Knowledge Concentration: Can't afford dedicated OrcaFlex scripting expert; expertise concentrated in 1-2 senior engineers
Our Solution
| 50 manual OrcaFlex runs | → | Batch processing overnight |
| S-N curve lookup errors | → | DNV-RP-C203 calculator curves |
| Results extraction tedium | → | Automated report generation |
| Knowledge concentration | → | Documented, repeatable workflows |
For Offshore Wind Developers
Project teams entering the offshore wind market with foundation and cable design needs
Your Pain Points
- Foundation Fatigue Complexity: Monopile/jacket fatigue requires 200+ joints; offshore standards (DNV) unfamiliar to onshore wind teams
- Cable & Export Route Analysis: Subsea cable installation analysis, route optimization, seabed interaction modeling
- Talent Shortage: Offshore structural engineers in high demand; can't hire fast enough for project schedules
Our Solution
| 200+ fatigue joints | → | Batch analysis with S-N curves |
| DNV unfamiliarity | → | Calculations with standards references |
| Cable installation | → | AQWA/OrcaFlex automation |
| Staff shortage | → | Engineering capacity on-demand |
"Offshore engineering expertise without hiring offshore engineers."
For EPC Contractors
Installation and fabrication contractors where analysis bottlenecks delay operations
Your Pain Points
- Weather Window Analysis: Vessel operability requires 100+ sea states
- Installation Pre-Engineering: Lift analysis for multiple equipment pieces; motion allowables for offshore transfers; last-minute scope changes
- Contractor Deliverable Review: Checking sub-contractor analysis packages; reviewing standards references; tight review timelines
Our Solution
| Weather window analysis | → | Real-time operability tool |
| Lift analysis iterations | → | Parametric model generation |
| Deliverable review | → | Automated validation checks |
"Don't let analysis be the reason you miss your weather window."
