In the course, elements for modelling offshore structures will be given. The course is divided
into three parts. First, an introduction about structural modelling in offshore environment is
discussed in particular how to model simple structures and wave loads. Second, structural
dynamics is reviewed and structural modelling with deterministic and statistical loads is
considered as well as for linear and nonlinear problems. Third, finite element models and
numerical MATLAB codes are discussed for modelling offshore structures. Numerical
applications are discussed by taking into account design practices and regulations.
