Overview
The continued use of an in-situ asset beyond its intended design life is often a financially attractive alternative for owners or operators facing the decision to either repair, replace, or finally decommission the asset.
However, extending the use of such an asset requires a quantified assessment of the asset, ensuring its continued use would result in an acceptable performance that is without loss of integrity and meets all current regulatory requirements.
To do this effectively, the responsible entity must assess the current condition of the asset and determine its suitability for continued use, including any necessary repairs, maintenance schedules, and potential life extension.
Assets coming toward the end of their life have typically been in use for many years and will have been exposed to environmental and operational loading regimes that have caused damage and deterioration to their geometric shape and the material(s) it is made from. This can include, but is not limited to, phenomena such as corrosion, erosion, fatigue, collision, impact, repairs, etc.
This session is aimed at highlighting the Ansys, part of Synopsys, tools and capabilities engineers can deploy to assess the existing state of in-situ assets, evaluate repair options, and estimate future performance and operational integrity.
Why Attend
Learn how Ansys can help with the simulation of in-situ assets by:
- Reengineering asset geometry from scan data
- Assess durability by simulating past known loading conditions and expected future environmental loading
- Use simulation to explore repair or replace scenarios
Who Should Attend
Anyone involved in the decision-making process around the asset life extension project.
