OPTIMOOR
World Leading Mooring Analysis Software
OPTIMOOR is an easy-to-use mooring analysis computer program for use by vessel and terminal personnel as well as by port designers and naval architects. It is based on the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) recommendations and procedures and includes OCIMF wind and current coefficients for tanker and gas carrier (prismatic / moss) vessels.
TTI are the sole developers and distributors of OPTIMOOR. A comprehensive and powerful software package that can model a vast array of mooring scenarios including Static, Dynamic, Wave Response, STS, CBMs, SPMs, turret, tower Yoke, collars, spread moorings, load out, passing ship, LNG Bunkering etc.
OPTIMOOR can be used to plan a vessel's mooring arrangement and to assess the adequacy of a terminal's mooring facilities. It can be used to train personnel in how to plan the optimum mooring layout and to react to different weather conditions. Time will then be saved in deploying lines to the proper mooring points. Graphic overlay of the vessel deck layout provides verification of the vessel file and easy view of which lines run to drums and/or bitts and mooring dolphins. Also, graphic overlay of aerial images or photographs like Goole Earth is useful to verify the berth.
At terminals, OPTIMOOR can be used to assess the adequacy of vessel mooring equipment for the terminal mooring arrangement. The need for and effectiveness of auxiliary mooring lines can be judged. Wind or current limitations can otherwise be imposed. Tide tables can be input in advance and then used to anticipate line tending requirements.
Vessel owners and operators can use OPTIMOOR to check the adequacy of vessel mooring equipment placement on new and existing vessels. It can help determine if vessels can be safely moored at various terminals, and if special limitations are necessary.
A key feature in mooring analysis using OPTIMOOR is that it models both quasi-static and dynamic rope stiffness automatically - no further entry of data is required
Ship Design MBL (SdMBL) calculations can be calculated in accordance with the lastest OCIMF and Industry guidance
Key Features of Optimoor include:
- All types of inshore and offshore ship moorings
- Shielding effect of piers
- In-built OCIMF methods and wind/current drag coefficients
- Easy reporting to RTF format, wind/wave roses
- Graphic plan with “drag & drop” moorings
- 3D Interface model
- Toggle between Metric and Imperial units
- Time related analyses to account for vessel draft (loading) and tide level changes
- Single and multiple batch files
- Easy reporting to Word and Excel files
- Auto generation of wind or wave capability rosette
- Fixed piers with catenary anchored buoys
- Option to lock vessel/berth data
- Comprehensive rope property database, both static and dynamic stiffness modelled
- Auto or manual pre-tension to set up mooring
- Wave Response Module [WRM] Option
- Ship2Ship Option for side by side mooring
DEMO
An updated Optimoor Demo version is now available for download. The Optimoor demo has been updated to align with the latest version of Optimoor (v6.9.1). The demo is representative of the licensable version of Optimoor with some constraints:
It is constrained to load a limited number of case vessel and berth files, all included in the download.
Restricted to 40 knots wind speed
You can't save files.
The attached link will open a zip file for downloading the demo which can been run using the Optimoor demo.exe file. After running you will get a splash screen where you can select the Demo accordingly.
