报告内容摘要：

海洋浮式平台系统设计过程中， 如何正确分析预报其在海上各种复杂不同环境条件受到各种外部载荷的作用产生相应的运动及系统内部载荷的响应，对海洋浮式平台系统的建造、运输、安装和运行能否按预期进行至关重要。平台运动耦合分析方法考虑了平台的运动和其子系统（如锚索、立管、油/汽输管、脐带缆等）的运动的相互作用，及对周围环境的影响和改变（进而反过来影响系统的外部载荷）。相对于非耦合分析，耦合分析能比较真实地反映实际的物理过程，从而给出更准确的预报。耦合分析的应用越来越受到重视，在实际的工程设计分析中得到越来越多的应用。

讲座将结合一些实例介绍一耦合分析方法及相应的工程软件在海洋工程设计分析中的应用情况。讲座还将讨论有待进一步改善之处以及建模需要的新突破，以应对更多新式浮式平台系统分析过程中将遇到的新问题和挑战。
