Therefore, the research on orientation of the structure and wave impact has a practical significance. Experimental and numerical simulation becomes valuable in predicting the performance during the system operation. Hence, in this article, a study on the effect of FPSO response by changing the orientation of FPSO has been presented by conducting experiments in the UTP wave basin subjected to regular wave condition. The results are used to be validated with numerical models using a commercial software AQWA by the 3D frequency domain theory and presented in terms of Response Amplitude Operators (RAO) of six degrees of freedom. To accurately consider the effect of response, artificial neural network (ANN) is adopted to predict the FPSO behaviour under different orientations and validate the results. ANN can provide meaningful solutions and can process information in extremely rapid mode ensuring high accuracy of prediction, especially for long response in time histories. Results show that three methods were achieved to generalize the responses. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2020. publisher: Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH date: 2020 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Azizan, N.L. and Irawan, R. and Liew, M.S. and Al-Yacouby, A.M. and Danyaro, K.U.
