To meet the demand for energy, oil and gas companies are looking to increase exploration and production while minimizing operational costs. Physics-based engineering design and analysis provides successful companies with solutions that impact compliance, the bottom line and equipment reliability while improving efficiencies and ultimately leading to technologies and practices that reduce cost. Simulation helps companies to minimize the cost of physical testing, develop new technologies, evaluate novel concepts and assess product performance in a low- risk virtual environment. Pythagoras Engineering offers flexible design solutions at an optimum cost and faster turnaround time that help our customers meet their business objectives consistently and cost-effectively.

 Project Highlights:

·         Structural Analysis of Manifolds involves the analysis for Lifting, Sea Transportation, Subsea Installation and Landing, Operational loads due to Piping, Earth quake Loads, Retrieval loads etc.

·         Structural Analysis of Lift caps and design qualification as per API,DNV.

·         Performing design optimization for connection systems subjected to Pipe and Hub loads

·         Pressure containment and HISC evaluation of subsea connection systems

·         Linear/Nonlinear Elastic, Elastic Plastic and Elastic Perfectly Plastic material formulation to assess worse behavior on components like connectors, Pipe connections, Pipe Fittings, Pipe support structures, frames, etc.

·         Dropped object impacts on Protection Roofs of Tree/Manifold Frames.

·         Structural assessment of pressure containing components to evaluate their global collapse failure load, local failure loads. Simulation is also done to assess Environment assisted corrosion, Ratchetting/ shakedown effect and Fatigue failures.

·         Cumulative Fatigue Damage study for Pipe fittings as per codes like DNV, ASME, etc.

·         Coupled field analysis to simulate real-time behavior of components under the combined effect of thermal and mechanical loading
