Advanced Hydrostatic and Hydrodynamic Simulation Software
What is MOSES?
MOSES is a uniquely integrated simulation software that helps you meet complex offshore project challenges more effectively with the efficiency and flexibility. MOSES is available in three different variations, so you can choose what is best for you.
Automate Performance Analysis
Quickly analyze floating systems across a range of operating conditions using simulation language to define environmental conditions, specify mooring configurations, and run integrated solvers in a unified environment.
Model Offshore Vessels and Platforms
Use interactive graphical tools specific to offshore structures to prepare models of vessels and floating systems. Help ensure accurate loading definition by visualizing tank and compartment models during modification.
Simulate Marine Operations
Leverage comprehensive and customizable scripting tools and pre-defined macros to explore design alternatives and manage complex installation sequence
MOSES
Analyze stability and motions in the frequency domain cost-effectively with MOSES. Enjoy hull and compartment modeling, as well as strip theory and 3D diffraction analysis.
- Consider all type of forces acting on your floating systems, including hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, inertial, mooring forces, and surge
- Specify system behavior and analyzing performance for different installations and operational conditions
- Create 3D hull shapes interactively with adaptive meshing
- Model lifting slings, anchor lines, mooring lines, nonlinear springs, pins, fenders, and other items that connect two bodies or a body to the ground
- Predict the motions of your vessel and non-ship shaped hulls
MOSES Advanced
Get everything included in MOSES, plus:
- Perform time-history simulations on single or multi-body systems to predict performance
- Handle mooring line dynamics with accurate calculations or response, including accounting for large deflections
- Enable structural analysis, as well as spectral fatigue analysis of topside and cargo structures
- Import structures from SACS
MOSES Ultimate
Get everything included in MOSES and MOSES Advanced, plus model hulls, calculate stability, predict motions, and analyze mooring, structures, and launch.
- Perform six-degree-of-freedom time domain simulations of jacket launches from a barge into water
- Understand the effect of structural deformation and flexibility on buoyancy, frequency response, and loadout calculations
- Consider the hydrodynamic interaction between two vessels

User Quote
After our innovative solution was first practiced and proved in the Sewol recovery project in early 2017, this solution is frequently used in the offshore industry for large shipwreck recoveries in one piece. This solution has further proved to be the best wreck-removal method in terms of environmental friendliness, as well as engineering and economic viability.

FAQs
MOSES is integrated offshore simulation software that helps you minimize offshore project risks with optimal designs. MOSES helps you cost-effectively analyze stability and motions in the frequency domain. You can perform hull and compartment modeling, as well as strip theory and 3D diffraction analysis.
While many MOSES tutorials can be found on Bentley Communities, here are some FREE MOSES and SACS webinars available in our eStore.
If you want to receive tailored training or attend a MOSES course that is specific to your project requirement, Bentley offers extra training and mentoring services. You can choose from tailor-made training, on-demand learning, consulting services, mentoring and more. Learn more about Expert Services here.
The price of MOSES, MOSES Advanced, and MOSES Ultimate varies per region. While there are various types of licensing available, a common choice is the 12-month practitioner license offered through Bentley’s eStore. When you purchase through the eStore you get a Virtuoso Subscription which means you get both the software AND the training, expert services, and custom mentoring you need to get started quickly.

One-time purchase with support
Perpetual License with SELECT
A perpetual license of Bentley software is a one-time purchase, with a yearly maintenance subscription, called SELECT. This includes 24/7/365 technical support, learning resources, and the ability to exchange licenses for other software once a year. With SELECT, you will benefit from:
- License pooling, so you can access your software from multiple computers.
- Access additional Bentley software with Term Licenses, which allow you to pay for what you use without the upfront cost of purchasing a perpetual license.
Annual renewal quotes are delivered directly to your inbox, and our experienced Renewal Representatives are available to answer your questions and guide you through any changes you’d like to make.
