HOUSTON -- ABS and ANSYS jointly introduced the new ABS Offshore Structure Assessment Program (OSAP) today.
OSAP consists of three main modules: design wave calculation, global strength assessment, and buckling and ultimate strength evaluation.
ABS say it intends for the OSAP program to expedite the class approval process.
"The key objective of OSAP is to help streamline and understand compliance with ABS rules," said Todd Grove, senior vice president and chief of staff for ABS.
