Summary
Carsten Arnholm is a Principal Engineer based in Nesoddtangen, Norway, with over three decades of specialized experience in offshore engineering software, notably as a principal designer of the market-leading SESAM Genie and author of core SESAM interfaces and tools. He has led and shipped complex finite-element and riser-monitoring systems at DNV, Seaflex/Kongsberg, and developed advanced stochastic fatigue analysis software (FlexStress) incorporating a novel 2D hysteresis method presented at OTC Rio 2013. Known for tackling nonlinear stick/slip and hysteresis challenges, he combines deep domain expertise in marine risers with hands-on solver and tool development. Pragmatic and results-focused, he also maintains a strong preference for open development workflows (having migrated code to GitLab) and continues to drive engineering excellence at Kongsberg.
