This example describes analyses of an offloading system incorporating a catenary anchor leg mooring (CALM) buoy and a steel oil offloading line, and demonstrates a number of features of Flexcom particularly suited to the modelling of these types of systems. The overall layout of the example is as follows:
•Introduction gives an overview of offloading system analysis, and notes some of the more important features of Flexcom relevant to this type analysis.
•Model Summary describes the actual model used here in more detail.
•Analyses briefly describes the various analyses performed, discussing the various environmental and loading conditions to which the offloading system is subjected.
•Results presents pertinent results from the various analyses performed and discusses their significance.
