EFFICIENT METHOD FOR ANALYSIS OF FLEXIBLE RISERS

A new computer program for advanced analysis of flexible marine riser systems is described. The program is tailored for this application both with respect to system modelling and efficiency solution strategies. The formulation allows for large displacements and rotations in 3-D space. Results from analyses of a steep wave configuration and a free hanging riser are presented.
