Agito - Global Offshore / Subsea Dynamic Simulation Software

Agito, located in the heart of Norway’s subsea industry, is a provider of quality analysis of critical and complex systems.

For 20 years Agito has performed engineering services for clients, specialising in the modelling, analysis and simulation of dynamic electro-hydraulic-mechanical systems. Services include simulation projects, third-party reviews and verification. The software we use is the software we distribute, SimulationX®.

Subsea hydraulic and electric simulation services

There is a growing need to analyse modern technical, mechatronic and heterogeneous systems. As an example, the oil industry uses computers for the design of hydraulic lines in umbilicals. The need for accurate calculation is heightened by the fact that the umbilical is one of the most expensive individual components in a subsea installation. If it is wrongly dimensioned, it will result in major time and cost overruns.

Dynamic simulation tools allow one to develop, virtually test and analyse components and systems of arbitrary complexity.

SimulationX - physical system simulation tool

With the advent of SimulationX, the trend-setter in physical system simulation, these tasks are much easier. The SimulationX software tool is unique in terms of library integration, modelling comfort and flexibility with an up-to-date user front end.

When using a tool with existing libraries and a graphical interface, a good understanding of the system and of the individual components is much more important than detailed mathematical knowledge.

Subsea-specific hydraulics library for simulation software

To make SimulationX software the software of choice for the offshore and subsea industry, Agito and ITI developed a subsea-specific hydraulics library.

The SimulationX software subsea library allows a subsea dynamic system to be easily modelled.

Subsea simulation software benefits

Your major benefits are:

• Time and cost reduction
• Reduced experiment and measurement effort
• Improved product design and development
• Consideration of rising product variety
• Virtual testing under real conditions
• Unique individual solutions

By using simulation software one can test a system virtually before putting it into real life test and production. Various alternative solutions can be tested, and the results will form the basis for choosing the components and dimensions to be used. Simulation is a supplement that will help engineers to design a better product at a lower cost. In addition, it assists clients in selecting the best product.
