Abstract

Taking Excel as the development platform, one offshore wind turbine foundation monitoring system software is developed merging two excellent analysis softwares, namely FlexPDE expert in multi-physics coupling simulation and ANSYS expert in structural analysis and display features. They are integrated together, the influence of seabed instability on the pile response could be considered, so the pile response simulation is more close to the actual condition. By using of such a simple software, Donghai-bridge offshore wind farm soil condition is evaluated, this example shows that this monitoring software is practical, could be used in the offshore wind turbine monitoring.
