Predictive Digital Twins for Asset Life Extension
Akselos’s top predictive power for digital twins
Akselos provides a software called Akselos Integra ®, with distinctive features:
- Reduced Basis Finite Element Analysis (FEA) algorithm, which allows simulation 1,000 times faster than FEA with the same accuracy.
- Parameterized 3D models, where components can be reconfigured in seconds, based on different loading conditions in seconds.
- Cloud-based applications to run thousands of fast simulations with little in-house IT overhead.
The combination of these features allow analysis of many “what if” scenarios, study uncertainties in a model, and perform quantitative risk assessments.
Pro/con
Run fully detailed global analysis of large-scale assets, based on real-life physical scenarios, in few seconds
Practically unlimited scalability to capture exact condition of an asset by incorporating real-life inspection data in the global model (e.g. cracks, corrosion, damage, fatigue regions)
Digital Twin calibration based on sensor and inspection data to allow integrity calculations based on real loads
Identify which exact component of your asset would fail, under thousands of different scenarios
Asset Life Extension through increased modelling accuracy and consideration of actual loading regime
Consider thousands of possible in-service conditions and scenarios to produce rich, physics based, predictive data sets for Machine Learning to fill gaps in data gathered from field operations and augment Digital Twins based on big data analytics.
Support for live asset monitoring and interpretation of sensor data
Asset-based license and cloud-based hosting to allow unrestricted deployment, seamless knowledge sharing and collaboration
Integration with asset management software
Focused on Structural Integrity but based on an open environment for integration to other simulation tools
Specification
Accuracy
Highly accurate and detailed structural digital twins using new analysis technology that has been extensively validated based on peer-reviewed research and industry applications.
Areas of Application
Structural integrity of critical assets (floating and fixed offshore, hulls, topsides, subsea, downstream, Offshore Wind, etc.).
Asset life extension
Akselos allows higher fidelity modelling of geometry and loads removing conservative assumptions and extending fatigue life.
Capabilities
Static, Dynamic, Thermal and acoustic analysis. RB-FEA Solver 1000x faster than conventional structural simulation methods. Fracture Mechanics (J-Integral). Hybrid approach allows nonlinear materials, deformation and contact simulation.
