I installed STAAD.Offshore program however the wave loads generated seem to be off by 1000. The distances along the member length at which the loads act, seem to be values corresponding to mm units although the units are supposed to be in meter.
The problem is due to an issue with the version of OpenSTAAD OEM that got installed with the STAAD.Offshore software. Installing the current version of OpenSTAAD OEM should address the problem. So having an updated version of Bentley OpenSTAADOEM ( like 08.02.09.47 ) is the key. However there is a catch. If you have an updated version of Bentley OpenSTAADOEM ( like 08.02.09.47 ) already installed and you try to install the STAAD.Offshore software, the installation of STAAD.Offshore would stop telling you to uninstall the installed version of Bentley OpenSTAADOEM as it is more updated compared to what STAAD.Offshore would require. So the trick is to uninstall any recent versions of Bentley OpenSTAADOEM, install STAAD.Offshore and then reinstall the more updated version of Bentley OpenSTAADOEM. The simplest way to get the latest Bentley OpenSTAADOEM installed is to reinstall STAAD.Pro which would automatically install Bentley OpenSTAADOEM and then you will not have the problems you reported for STAAD.Offshore.
