This example describes example deepwater drilling riser analyses, and demonstrates a number of features of Flexcom specifically suited to the modelling of drilling risers. The overall layout of the example is as follows:
•Introduction gives an overview of the drilling riser analysis, and notes some of the more important features of Flexcom which are relevant to the analysis.
•Model Summary describes the model in more detail, and discusses the relevant analytical capabilities of the software.
•Analyses briefly describes the various analyses performed, discussing the various environmental and loading conditions to which the riser is subjected.
•Results presents pertinent results from the various analyses performed and discusses their significance.
•Input Data contains the input data for the drilling riser model.
•Calculation of Flexcom Input Data describes how the required Flexcom inputs are computed from the model data presented in Input Data.
