F02 - Upheaval Buckling |
|
This example describes an analysis to determine if a pipeline lying on the seabed is susceptible to upheaval buckling, and to demonstrate that Flexcom can be used successfully in this type of pipeline study. The overall layout of this example is as follows:
•Introduction gives an overview of the upheaval buckling analysis.
•Model Summary describes the model in more detail, and discusses some relevant analytical capabilities of the software.
•Analyses briefly describes the various analyses performed, discussing the various environmental and loading conditions to which the pipeline is subjected.
•Results presents pertinent results from the various analyses performed and discusses their significance in relation to upheaval buckling analysis.
