A 1/9 scaled section model was made and arranged in the state of incline. The obtained results from the global analysis are then implemented into a finite element model in ABAQUS to determine the stress-history curves of each steel strips layer.In particular, Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) generated on each riser was focused. Fully coupled bending, torsion and axial stiffnessFirstly, given a specific working condition of MSFP, the dynamic responses of MSFP are calculated through OrcaFlex. Centrifugal and Coriolis internal flow effects included Slug flow and free flooding options for line contents Multiple coatings and linings can be defined Equivalent pipe setup tool Bending stiffness, drag and added mass can be non-isotropic Axial, bending and torsional stiffness can be nonlinear 3D hysteresis model available for bending
Centrifugal and Coriolis internal flow effects included Spool pieces) now with visualisation tool Pre-bend can be modelled (e.g. Seabed model for SCR fatigue analysis, either within Orcaflex. Bend Stiffener / Tapered Stress Joint model generationinvolved, such as slug flow, vortex-induced vibration, and SCR-seabed interaction. From the model test, it was shown that the amplitude of the VIV was larger with the buoyancy modules than that without the modules.

Non-isotropic Coulomb friction with seabed & elastic solids Clumped line attachments, drag chains or flex joints Line CofG may be displaced from geometric centre Rayleigh damping with or without geometric stiffness
