Frequency Domain Tests with Connectors

BAR2:

This test involves a frequency domain analysis of two barges pinned together.

FRQRCT:

This is an example of a simulation and stress analysis of a moored structure containing only Morison elements in the frequency domain.

FRQSLI:

This test simulates a jacket in an upend position, attached to a barge with upending slings. Variation in the hookload and sling tensions due to waves is calculated in the frequency domain.

LAUCON:

This is a frequency domain simulation of two bodies connected via launch connectors.

MBRECT:

This is a test of three bodies connected together, with a structural analysis performed on the middle body only.

ONEBOD:

This test is similar to LAUCON except that instead of modeling the system as two connected bodies, they are combined into a single body.

PIPSLI:

This test hangs a pipe from a boom tip, and calculates the variation in sling load due to waves.

PULLEY_F:

This tests checks the operation of pulley connectors composed of taught lines in the frequency domain.

TUG_F:

This test of the dynamic tug connector.

TWOBOD:

This test is similar to LAUCON, except that here, the two bodies are pinned together.
