This example considers a J-tube connected to a fixed platform in shallow water. A flexible riser is pulled through the J-tube using a winch mounted on the platform. The analysis sequence consists of an initial setup analysis to determine the overall static configuration, followed by a dynamic analysis of the system as the flexible is pulled through the J-tube. The overall system configuration in its initial state is shown in the figure below.
