Installation Analysis

Installation analysis: Start up, normal laying, A/R analysis, laydown Local buckling check Fatigue analysis Free span / bottom roughness Based on DNV OS F101 Section 12 K300, Simplified laying criteria Area: Overbend and Segbend Check: Stress and Strain Result of analysis is exceed the criteria? Environmental loads: Hs, T, current Optimizations: roller setting (barge/stinger), tension, trim, stinger Others: buoyancy tank
