What is the OrcaFlex Model Generator skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that automates the construction of OrcaFlex simulation files using modular components and validated templates.

Which offshore components are currently supported?

The skill supports Steel Catenary Risers (SCR), various vessel types (FPSOs, Drillships), pipelines, umbilicals, and standard environmental conditions (GoM, North Sea, Brazil).

Can I run parametric studies with this tool?

Yes, the skill is specifically designed to handle parametric studies by allowing users to generate multiple model variations automatically based on changing input parameters like water depth or wave height.

How does component assembly work in this skill?

Instead of manually editing .dat or .yml files, you select pre-validated vessels, materials, and environments from lookup tables to build a complete engineering model programmatically.

Data Science & ML

Automates the construction of complex OrcaFlex offshore engineering models using a modular component assembly approach and pre-validated templates.

About

This skill streamlines the development of offshore asset models by replacing manual template editing with a structured component assembly system. Users can build high-fidelity simulations for risers, pipelines, and mooring systems by selecting from pre-defined libraries of vessels, materials, and environmental conditions. It is particularly valuable for engineers performing parametric studies, design optimization, or rapid feasibility assessments, ensuring all models adhere to industry standards such as DNV, API, and ISO.
