BUREAU VERITAS ARIANE V8.2.6
Ariane is an efficient static, time-domain based, multi-body mooring software. The product of thirty-years’ development, Ariane uses Bureau Veritas’ extensive expertise and knowledge in hydrodynamic and mooring fields. Ariane is regularly updated, and the latest releases allow to analyze complex mooring systems, such as side-by-side or jetty mooring, with extreme accuracy.

• DOFs multi-body calculation in static and time domain
• Non symmetrical hydrodynamic data
• Multi-component mooring lines
• Drift loads models adapted to any water depth (Newman approximation, Full QTF, BV approximation, Wave/current interaction)
• Thrusters, external loads, fenders, buoys, sinkers, etc.
• Optional Line Dynamic Module from Wood Group Kenny
• Input data can be checked at any time analytically or graphically thanks to interactive tools
• Vessels, lines and environmental conditions stores can be created, saved and loaded separately in order to use them whenever it is useful
• No limits in the number of vessels, lines, segments, fenders…
• Turret application module
• Seabed configuration can be defined globally or for each line using input points or constant slope/water depth.
