Rod Element Tests

BPILE:

This is a test of a single pile.

DEQ:

This test calculates pipe stresses during the davit lift of a submerged pipeline. No environment is input, and the pipe stresses are the result of equilibrium.

DRISER:

This test performs an analysis on a drilling riser, complete with internal temperature and contents, in both the frequency and time domain.

DYNMLI:

This tests a barge with a rod element used as a mooring line in the time domain.

FRQDAV:

This is test is similar to DEQ, except here, pipe stresses due to an environment are computed in the frequency domain.

FRQMLI:

This tests a barge with a rod element used as a mooring line in the frequency domain.

FRQSTI:

This test computes stress in a pipe resulting from a pipe lay operation from a series of rollers off the stern of a barge. Pipe stresses are computed including environmental effects, in the frequency domain.

HANG:

This test computes the internal forces in a hanging rod.

HRISER:

This test computes the shape of a rod which is buoyant along a portion of the length.

J_LAYING:

This test simulates j_laying of a pipe from a barge.

HM1:

This is another one pile test, but the soil conditions are different than those for BPILE.

LPILE:

This is a sample of a laterally loaded pile, and it demonstrates how to define fixed nodes, soil, and loads applied to nodes.

PILDSN:

This test checks the pile design options of the program for a pile embedded in soil.

QPILE:

This is a more realistic test of pile/soil interaction. Here, we have a simple six pile jacket being laterally loaded. The solution here is linear in that the pile stiffness at zero deflection is used instead of iterating the correct stiffness.

SPILE:

This is another simple pile example.

TMOM:

This is tests using a moment at the top of a rod.

TMOM_PIPE:

This is tests using a moment at the top of a pipe.
