Offshore Pipeline S-Lay DesignTraditional Method

INPUT PIPELINE BENDING RADIUS & TENSION

1. Try a pipeline bending radius

Draw laybarge, stinger and pipeline model in Auto CAD;

Adjust laybarge and stinger profile to make all the rollers contacting the pipeline;

Read roller supports coordinates and input them to analysis software.

2. Try a value of tension The stress is acceptable?

YESNO

END

PURPOSE

Find an acceptable combination of pipeline bending radius & tension


Offshore Pipeline S-Lay DesignDisadvantages of Traditional Method

DISADVANTAGES

Wasting time and labor;

Can not get the best combination which brings the minimum stress;

For stinger with more than 2 sections, it is difficult to get coordinates of roller supports;

Boring to edit input file of FEA software.

What can OFFPIPE Assistant Toolbox do?Get Ramberg-Osgood Parameters.

► Ramberg-Osgood Convertor is developed to transform Ramberg-Osgood equation from stress-strain form to moment-curvature form for offshore pipelines.

What can OFFPIPE Assistant Toolbox do?Graph OFFPIPE output file.

► OFFPIPE Grapher is used to read, filter, chart OFFPIPE output files and show maximum variable values.

OFFPIPE Grapher


What can OFFPIPE Assistant Toolbox do?Simulate wave spectrum according to the algorithm of OFFPIPE

► OFFPIPE WaveSpec is developed to simulate wave spectrum according to the algorithm of OFFPIPE. User can get maximum / minimum key values of wave and their occurring time, and then determine the key analysis time area which should be adopted by OFFPIPE.
