Introduction

This example illustrates an installation scenario where a steel pipe is payed out over the vessel stinger and lowered onto the seabed to simulate a typical installation process. An initial static followed by a quasi-static analysis are used to establish the model configuration. This is then followed by a series of restart dynamic analyses to model the pipe payout over the stinger and lowering onto the seabed.

This example illustrates the plastic material hardening model in Flexcom.
