Popis: The floating hoisting of floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) production modules introduces substantial challenges due to the propensity for excessive deformation within the typical tubular truss structures during operations. This research proposes a temporary reinforcement scheme, leveraging finite element method simulations under wind, wave, and current loads, to mitigate deformation concerns. Utilizing DNV GeniE software, this study establishes a finite element model, simulating the floating lifting process and conducting a comparative analysis between pre- and post-reinforcement scenarios. The results demonstrate a significant reduction in maximum stress and deformation, substantiating the efficacy of the reinforcement strategy and underscoring the safety and reliability of such operations. The successful execution of this methodology heralds a promising avenue for marine engineering practices, advocating for the optimization of large-scale offshore module installation.
