Research software, built in the open

Reproducibility is a design requirement of this project, not an afterthought. The computational tools are built on an open-source engineering stack and are released alongside the papers they support.

substructure-engine

In development

A material-agnostic parametric structural engine that sizes physics-compliant offshore wind substructures — monopile, jacket, semi-submersible — across metocean and site classes, and reports the over-design penalty of holding a design common. Validated against the IEA 15 MW reference designs.

Python · open-source stack · code released with Paper 2

dfrepeat

In development

A supporting library for repeatability and product-family analysis: representing substructure families, commonality decisions, and configuration variants in a form the optimizer can search.

Python library · supports Papers 2–3

Pareto front visualizer

Concept

An interactive visualization of the over-design penalty versus manufacturing benefit trade-off surface, parameterized by site spread, order volume, and material choice. A research demonstrator built on top of the engine.

Post-engine prototype

A research instrument, not a product

A web-based prototype accompanies the research: an interface to the engine for exploring substructure families and trade-off surfaces. It exists to test the framework with the people it is meant to serve — engineers making FEED-stage decisions.

Access is granted to research collaborators and organisations participating in the evaluation. There is no sign-up, no trial, and no pricing — request access and describe what you would use it for.

Request access

Tell me who you are, what decisions you face, and which substructure types and sites matter to you. Collaborators in the evaluation study get priority.
