Importing old Sesam format to GeniE
� Primarily for converting re-analysis models of jackets, in some cases import of surface models- Preframe, Prefem, Patran-Pre
� For frame and plate structures- Basically all structure, sections and materials. The
numbering system for beams may be maintained- Manually defined loads such as point, line, pressure,
acceleration loads- Wave load data such as hydrodynamic properties,
current, wave and load conditions- Soil data

Some remarks on DXF and Rhino
� Early versions of DXF; lines and circles only – these lines need to be approximated with splines before making the surfaces
� Newer versions of DXF and Rhino use splines and NURBS – surface generation can be done on these
41
Example of many small lines approximated with splines
