Abstract :
Presents a sophisticated software, SAPOS (stochastic analysis programme for offshore structures). SAPOS makes spectral, stochastic fatigue damage and fatigue reliability analyses of offshore structures using advanced methods. It is basically designed for practical applications and can be also used for further research purposes. SAPOS can be coupled with an analysis package and therefore it recognises two kind of input sets, indirect and direct input sets. The indirect input set is generated by the analysis package used. The direct input set is provided by users. The output of SAPOS is very clear, self-explained and easy to interpret
