Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Mooring Cables on Marine Structures

==ABSTRACT==

The complexity of the dynamic response of offshore marine structures requires advanced simulations tools for the accurate assessment of the seakeeping behaviour of these devices. This presentation introduces a new time-domain model for solving the dynamics of moored floating marine devices, specifically offshore wind turbines, subjected to non-linear environmental loads.
Different application examples are presented,including a GVA, and the OC3 and OC4 platforms.

==PRESENTATION==

This presentation was given on Tuesday, June 16th at the VII International Conference on Computational Methods in Marine Engineering (Marine 2015).
