The random sea analysis in this example corresponds to Stage 3. Results for this analysis are presented in the three figures below. Each plot represents an envelope of a particular parameter plotted against the curvilinear distance along the pipeline from the vessel connection point ‘_TensionerVCP(1)’. The various envelopes depicted similar behaviour to the Regular Wave Analysis results and so the same comments apply here.
Effective Tension Envelope
Bending Moment Envelope
Maximum Von Mises Strain Envelope
