Introduction:
 


HARP
- Hull And Riser/mooring Program is a suite of integrated hydrodynamic and structural analysis modules for offshore engineering applications. Its state-of-the-art fully coupled analysis program Charm3D and the powerful nonlinear dynamic flexible finite element program FlexPro, along with the wave radiation/diffraction panel program WAMIT developed by MIT, form a reliable system to perform global analysis of offshore floating platform motions and structural analysis of flexible risers and moorings.

HARP is jointly developed by Texas A&M University and Offshore Dynamics Inc. with partial funding from Charm3D JIP (Joint Industry Program). HARP analysis results have been proved through real offshore projects as well as laboratory testing for all types of offshore floating platforms including TLPs, Spars, semi-submersibles and FPSOs. The advanced user interface and seamless links between the different modules of HARP enable users to perform coupled hull/mooring/riser analysis in a streamlined and efficient way.
