This example considers the insertion of a flexible riser through a J-tube. Contact between the flexible and J-tube is modelled using the pipe-in-pipe modelling facility. The example is divided into the following sections:
•Introduction gives an overview of the analysis.
•Model Summary describes the structure from a modelling viewpoint in Flexcom. Important modelling techniques for this type of analysis are noted, as well as relevant Flexcom features and capabilities.
•Analyses briefly describes the various analyses performed, discussing the various environmental and loading conditions.
•Results presents pertinent results from the various analyses performed.
