Designing see platform stands has always appealed to a large number of engineers active in the field, because see platforms are one of the most important types of offshore structures for utilization of oil and gas resources. Engineers need to know as much as possible about the forces applied to these stands in order to design them in the best way. The purpose of the research is to be able to study and investigate as far as possible the applied forces and wave run-up at circular stands located in offshore regions. Flow-3D software was used for this purpose and for modeling. It was observed after modeling with different geometries that the highest run-up value occurs at 0.3 meter stand diameter and at stand number 1. Furthermore, the greatest applied force occurs in the state where stand diameter is the largest, and the distance between the stands is the shortest.
