Short summary
As part of the Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration 7 (OC7) project, load transfer from global analysis models to local structural designs was examined. Different load-mapping workflows from project participants were compared using a shared reference design and consistent checks. Results show that load-mapping choices, pressure application, and treatment of structural flexibility can influence predicted stresses and fatigue, highlighting key sources of uncertainty and providing guidance for more consistent global‑to‑local assessments.
