This example describes static and dynamic analyses of a free-hanging catenary riser, and discusses a number of issues of particular relevance to the modelling of flexible risers. The overall layout of this example is as follows:
•Introduction gives an overview of the free-hanging catenary 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 issue of modelling compression in flexible risers.
•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.
