> Det Norske Veritas (DNV) rules and standards for marine, offshore, and renewable energy industries.
**Version:** 1.0.0
**Created:** 2026-01-12
**Category:** SME / Codes & Standards
## Overview
DNV (formerly DNV GL) provides the technical rules for ship classification and widely used standards for offshore structures, pipelines, and wind energy. This skill covers the navigation and application of DNV Offshore Standards (OS) and Recommended Practices (RP).
## Core Capabilities
### 1. Offshore Structures
- **DNV-OS-C101**: Design of Offshore Steel Structures (LRFD method).
- **DNV-OS-C201**: Structural Design of Offshore Units.
- **DNV-RP-C203**: Fatigue Design of Offshore Steel Structures (The industry gold standard for S-N curves).
### 2. Pipelines & Risers
- **DNV-OS-F101**: Submarine Pipeline Systems.
- **DNV-OS-F201**: Dynamic Risers.
- **DNV-RP-F105**: Free Spanning Pipelines.
### 3. Marine Operations
- **DNV-ST-N001**: Marine Operations and Marine Warranty.
## When to Use
### Use This Skill When:
- Performing fatigue analysis (S-N curves).
- Designing subsea pipelines or risers.
- Classifying vessels or floating units.
- Planning marine warranty surveys.
### Do Not Use This Skill When:
- Designing wellhead equipment (use API).
- Specifying raw material testing methods (use ASTM).
## Knowledge Areas
### 1. Document Types
- **OS (Offshore Standard)**: Technical provisions and acceptance criteria.
- **RP (Recommended Practice)**: Guidance on how to perform analysis (e.g., how to calculate fatigue).
- **ST (Standard)**: Technical standards (often replacing older OS).
### 2. LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design)
DNV relies heavily on the LRFD method, using partial safety factors for loads and material resistance.
## Code & Data Patterns
### Fatigue S-N Curve Lookup (DNV-RP-C203)
```python
def get_dnv_sn_curve(curve_name, environment='air'):
"""
Retrieve parameters for DNV S-N curves.
"""
curves = {
'B1': {'log_a': 12.564, 'm': 3.0},
'B2': {'log_a': 12.449, 'm': 3.0},
'C': {'log_a': 12.192, 'm': 3.0},
'D': {'log_a': 11.764, 'm': 3.0}
}
params = curves.get(curve_name)
if not params:
raise ValueError("Unknown curve")
if environment == 'seawater_cathodic':
# DNV adjustment for seawater with CP
params['log_a'] -= 0.176 # Example adjustment
return params
```
## Best Practices
- **Fatigue Factors**: Be careful with the "Design Fatigue Factor" (DFF), which ranges from 1.0 to 10.0 depending on criticality and inspectability.
- **Environmental Loads**: DNV metocean criteria often differ slightly from API. Ensure consistency.

venue-templates
IncludedAccess comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
let-fate-decide
IncludedDraws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
