Scaled Experiments and Tool Validation

Measurement data is essential for the assessment of uncertainty of the design calculations. We are experienced in building scaled floating platforms, selecting sensors and conducting experiments. We ensure a stepwise validation, increasing the complexity of the load cases gradually.

Stepwise system identification
Streamlined test supervision
Uncertainty quantification of design loads
