Market Driver

The offshore structural analysis software market is witnessing a significant trend with the adoption of cloud computing technology. Traditionally an on-premises offering, offshore structural analysis software is now being delivered via cloud platforms. This shift enhances computing capacity by granting customers access to the processing power of multiple high-end machines. Pre- and post-processing tasks are still performed locally, but the model is sent to the cloud for analysis, enabling users to complete other tasks on their local machines until results are transmitted back. Bentley Systems' SACS Cloud Services is an example of cloud-enabled offshore structural analysis software. It allows the analysis of large and compute-intensive models using the latest cloud version and high-end hardware without straining desktop bandwidth. Simultaneous execution of multiple analyses is possible, increasing productivity and reducing time. Cloud computing services offer several benefits for offshore structural analysis. Users can access the application from any device connected to the internet, eliminating the need to store analysis data on their devices. Hardware with high performance is no longer necessary as all calculations are performed in the cloud. Sharing calculation models with colleagues is simplified, and installation, update, maintenance, and compatibility issues are eliminated. Best resource allocation and a pay-per-use facility ensure cost efficiency. 

The Offshore Structural Analysis Software market is experiencing significant growth due to increasing demand from the maritime industry, particularly in sectors like oil and gas, power generation, and defense. Key trends include the use of skidding systems and tension decks for offshore installation. End users, including architects and engineers, require advanced software to analyze offshore structures under extreme weather conditions and environmental loads. Cloud-based software and deployment services are gaining popularity for their flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Financial performance and performance prediction are crucial factors for investment expenses. Ground-level workers benefit from software that can handle nonlinear structural analysis and predict offshore structural failure. Subsea platforms, protecting structures, and drilling templates are other areas of focus. Physical space constraints and remote locations necessitate advanced solutions. Technical development continues with on-premise software and managed services, offering customized solutions for various industries. Offshore structures in marine environments face unique challenges, and software must provide accurate information on environmental loads and performance under extreme conditions. Overall, the market is expected to continue growing as offshore structures become increasingly complex and critical to various industries.

Market Challenges

• The global offshore structural analysis market faces a significant challenge due to the shortage of a digitally skilled workforce capable of effectively operating offshore structural analysis software. Companies require a workforce familiar with software platforms for building models and designs, as well as analyzing the outcomes of these solutions. The ability to use connected systems and integrated software applications is essential for analyzing, designing, and simulating the response of complex offshore structures and vessels. However, the lack of workers with combined skills in both software platforms and offshore structure analysis is a major hindrance to market growth. To effectively use offshore structural analysis software, workers must be knowledgeable in areas such as nonlinear structural analysis, dynamic response analysis due to environmental loads, impact effects analysis, and severe accidental loadings analysis. For instance, analyzing the setup of an offshore structure like a wind turbine using offshore structural analysis software necessitates an understanding of the software platform to explore design options, comprehend behavior, and accurately predict the structural performance of offshore wind farm platforms. Consequently, the absence of a skilled workforce with a combined understanding of software platforms and offshore structures is a significant barrier to market expansion during the forecast period.
