Notes

(a)Hysteresis effects are included by default in all analysis where hysteresis is defined. To suppress the effect of bending hysteresis in an analysis select the Yes option.

(b)The option is provided on the basis that a flexible riser needs to be pressurised before the hysteresis bending can occur, so the riser is typically compliant until fully pressurised (e.g. during installation).
