Applications

USFOS is used by leading oil companies and engineering consultants all over the world, and has proved significant cost savings in areas such as inspection planning, lifetime extension / reassessment of ageing structures, and in fire protection assessment for new designs.

USFOS is tailored to space frame structures, with a particular strength for tubular structures. The program includes a very efficient formulation for beam-columns and tubular joints.

Applications

• Pushover analysis
• Accidental loads
• Ship collision
• Fire and explosion
• Reassessment
• Design

Integrity assessment

USFOS has a particular strength for use in reassessment of structures and during operation/ inspection of structures. The program includes a very efficient formulation of damaged structural members, that makes it specially suited to document the capacity of structures with damaged members, e.g. from ship impact or dropped objects.
