tension force for the tension-leg platform
Hi all,
How to set the pre-tension force for the tension-leg platform? After the simulation, how to find the tension force for each tension leg?
Best regards,
Jinhan
Hello Jihan,
you cannot set a pre-tension force for a mooring line, however you can change the mooring line length in the MOORMEMBERS table which will affect its tension.
The tension in the mooring line is evaluated during the simulation by considering the force exerted by the floater, the waves and the influence of gravity on the line elements.
In the model you are using several sensors (using the keyword MOO, see Defining Sensor Locations) are distributed on each mooring line. You can find sensor outputs for position, tension force etc. in the structural time graph when you search for the MOO keyword.

David
