DEBBIE:

This is a transportation of a small jacket on a rigid barge. The structural solution is performed in the frequency domain and spectral code checking is performed.

• debbie commands
• debbie data
• debbie log
• debbie output

HBL:

This is a launch of a jacket off of an articulated launch barge. In other words, the launch barge is actually two barges pinned together.

• hbl commands
• hbl data
• hbl log
• hbl output

JT_FREQ:

This sample is of a jacket being transported on a barge in the frequency domain. This test is relatively complete as regards reports, and considers the effect of the barge flexibility on the stresses in the jacket. The structural post-processing is performed spectrally, and fatigue is considered.

• jt_freq commands
• jt_freq data
• jt_freq log
• jt_freq output

JT_GAP:

This sample uses the same data as JT_FREQ, but here, the connection between the jacket and the barge is considered to be a "gap" connection. To properly consider this nonlinearity, the loads are considered to be time domain snapshots.

• jt_gap commands
• jt_gap data
• jt_gap log
• jt_gap output

JT_NON:

This sample is similar to JT_FREQ, except that no fatigue analysis is performed, and two passes are made through the STRUCT menu. The first pass creates the deadload case without tiedowns. After the tiedowns are added, the deadload case is combined with the spectral cases.

• jt_non commands
• jt_non data
• jt_non log
• jt_non output

LAUN2:

This is a launch simulation of a jacket launched off of two barges rigidly pinned together.

• laun2 commands
• laun2 data
• laun2 log
• laun2 output

LRFD:

This is an example of the use of the automatic installation macro system supplied in the tools directory to analyze the transportation of a deck. Here, we are doing an lrfd code check.

• lrfd commands
• lrfd data
• lrfd log
• lrfd output

MAN_LAUN:

This is an example of a jacket launch off of a barge. Two stress analyses of the launch are performed a simple one which uses an approximate method of applying the launchway reactions onto the barge, and one which uses gap elements at the hard points to account for the interaction of the jacket with a rigid barge.

• man_laun commands
• man_laun data
• man_laun log
• man_laun output

MAURIE:

This is a stress analysis of a real jacket for dead load only.

• maurie commands
• maurie log
• maurie output

P_LIFT:

This is another example of the use of the automatic installation macro system supplied in the tools directory to analyze the transportation of a deck. Here we are lifting a deck.

• p_lift commands
• p_lift log
• p_lift output

TIM_TOW:

This test uses the installation macros to perform a time synthesis tow analysis.

• tim_tow commands
• tim_tow data
• tim_tow log
• tim_tow output

TOW_DECK:

This is another example of the use of the automatic installation macro system supplied in the tools directory to analyze the transportation of a deck.

• Tow_deck commands
• Tow_deck log
• Tow_deck output

UPDOWN:

This is a simple test of the static process (upending) commands.

• updown commands
• updown data
• updown log
• updown output
