Abstract: Wind load is an important part of the environmental load on offshore platforms. Therefore, how to accurately and effectively apply wind loads to offshore platforms is required when checking offshore platforms for stability and safety. This paper points out the calculation method the wind loads in Moses software, shows some important parameters that affect the wind load in Moses, and puts forward how to set up the wind load conforming to the requirements of ABS and API rules. It has important reference value for wind load calculation on Moses in the future.
