Thanks for your answers.
I am familiar with the orcaflex, but my analysis is complicated in later stages and orcaflex can not handle that as far as I understand. And I have no expirience with orvcaflex either.
Shell elements would be nice, but my model is 350m long, so its not really an...
Hi,
Im trying to model a flexible pipe using beam/pipe elements in abaqus. With flexible I mean a pipe with high axial stiffness, but low bending stiffness. I know I can model a beam general section and define I11, I22, I12 separately and that way get the behavour I want. But I also need to...
The pipe and the cable are modelled with beam elements B31H (hybrid formulation). The thing is that you define the E-modulus and the beam section (in this case circular), which than decides your EI (bending) and EA (axial) stiffness. But I want the bending stiffness to be very small. Is there a...
Hi all,
Im trying to make a model of an electrical cable inside a pipe laying at a seabed. This is modeles using the 'slide line option in abaqus. The pipe is subjected to temperature loading and expands. The cable can not see the same expansion; hence it has to be layed with an overlength...
