Mooring Analysis Services &Software for Aquaculture

sector profile

Overview Dynamic Systems Analysis Ltd. (DSA) offices are adjacent to the primary aquaculture regions in Canada.

Our team specializes in providing ocean engineering services and software to aquaculture equipment suppliers and fin-fish producers in Canada, Chile, the USA, and around the world.

Mooring AnalysisDSA analyzes mooring systems and net cages under wind, wave, and current conditions to assess loads, optimize mooring arrangements, and reduce risks. DSA has experience in conducting mooring analysis using NS9415, API-RP-2SK, and other offshore mooring standards.

ProteusDS SoftwareDSA has developed the finite-element based dynamic analysis software ProteusDS. The ProteusDS mooring line and net models have been validated under a wide range of scenarios using tank tests, software benchmarks, and full scale validation.

The ProteusDS Simulation Toolbox handles complex fish-farm setups

Advanced environmental modeling options include: regular/irregular waves, net hydrodynamic shielding, spatially and time varying current

>> Advanced gravity anchor and mooring chain seabed interactions.

>> In ProteusDS you can analyze the bathymetry at a site to optimize the mooring layout.

>> Compensator buoys are accurately modeled using nonlinear hydrostatic and Morison drag models.

>> The seabed slopes at a site can be quickly assessed to ensure correct anchoring.
