Structures Analysed Together

Scenario 1:

•Initial static analysis of both structures

•Static analysis with current of both structures with wake interference

Scenario 2:

•Initial static analysis of both structures

•Modal analysis of both structures with Shear7 output for upstream structure

•Shear7 analysis of upstream structure

•Modal analysis of both structures with Shear7 output for downstream structure

•Shear7 analysis of downstream structure

•Static analysis with current of both structures with wake interference and VIV drag

Scenario 3:

•Initial static analysis of both structures

•Modal analysis of both structures with Shear7 output for upstream structure

•Shear7 analysis of upstream structure

•Static analysis with current of both structures with wake interference and a) VIV drag for upstream structure and b) VIV effects for downstream structure – Flexcom automatically performs modal analysis and Shear7 analysis at each iteration.
