Transect Data for OrcaFlex Simulation

The document describes 9 transects of different headings and speeds to study riser chain effective tension. Transects 1-2 had a heading of 135 degrees at speeds of 3.5 and 5 knots. Transects 3-4 were at 45 degrees heading and the same speeds. Transects 5-6 were at 315 degrees heading and speeds of 3.5 and 5 knots. The last 3 transects were at headings of 225 degrees for 7-8, and 180 degrees for 9, all at varying speeds.
