The offshore platform usually rest on legs of platform on sea deep. The calculation of legs is complicated
due to variation of loads with time. In this study analysis is the linear elastic of the structure based on stresses up to
yield stress. The main objective of this study is to perform non linear analysis using nonlinear finite element software
SAP 2000 and investigate behavior of offshore platforms legs for wave load and seismic load. Analysis is carried out
for four legged steel template structure and perform wave analysis and seismic analysis. Analysis of platform is
carried out for various depth of water to investigate behavior of the platforms legs for the varying depth of water.
