OFFPIPE s user interface tests for and flags common input errors.
Syntax errors, inconsistent or missing data, and unreasonable numerical
values are automatically detected by OFFPIPE and flagged with an error
message. hen appropriate, these error messages are displayed both on
screen and in the printed output. A single message status line is con-
tinuously displayed by OFFPIPE at the bottom of each screen.

The input data entered by the user is stored by OFFPIPE in a hu-

man-readable, A SII input data file1. This file serves as the input data-
base for OFFPIPE s model building, static solution and dynamic solution
modules, and also ensures that a permanent copy of the input data is
retained for future use.

ote that although it has a simple appearance, FFP PE s use of a human readable
input data file was considerably more difficult to program and develop than a conven-
tional binary database. This rather e pensive step has been taken to make the input
data file easier to understand and more accessible to the user.
3Two common database terms, "field" and "record", will be used in this manual. A field
is used herein to mean the physical location in the input database in which an item of
data is stored. A field can contain a single value, a vector, or an array of data. A record
is a collection of fields which are related, and stored and manipulated together.
4There is a one-to-one correspondence between the data entry screens and the records
in the input data file. Each screen is associated with a single record type that is used to
store the data entered on the screen. There is a similar correspondence between the
data entry fields on the screen, and the data fields in the associated record of the input
data file.

ote also that the data entry screens and input data file are or-
gani ed in such a way that data which are closely related are normally
entered together. For e ample, the dimensions and physical properties
of the pipe are entered on the *P P screen/record, while the geometry
and configuration of the laybarge are described on the *BARG
screen/record.
FFP P provides more than forty different screens and asso-

ciated record types for entering data in pipelaying, davit lift and pipe
span analyses. These screens and their record eywords are listed in
Table 1-1.

In offshore pipelaying, initiation, and abandonment and recovery

analyses, OFFPIPE uses a detailed finite element model, like that sho n
in Figure - , to represent the complete pipelaying system.
The pipeline and cable are modeled by a continuous string of

beam-like pipe and cable elements that extend from the line-up station
on the laybarge to the point of apparent fixity on the seabed. Other spe-
ciali ed elements are used to represent the pipe supports and ten-
sioner s on the laybarge and stinger, and to provide a structural model
for the stinger. The seabed is modeled as a continuous elastic founda-
tion using bilinear, elastic-frictional soil elements.
OFFPIPE can generate explicit finite element models for a variety of

laybarge and stinger configurations. The pipelay configurations that can
be modeled include
q onventional laybarges, layships and semi-submersible vessels.

1. .1 a a e e
The part of the pipeline or cable lying on the laybarge is modeled
by OFFPIPE as a continuous string of pipe and cable elements. These
elements extend from the line-up station, or first pipe tensioner6 on the
laybarge, to the barge stern.
The pipeline and cable are supported on the laybarge by a series of

discrete pipe support and tensioner elements (See Section 1. . ). OFF-
PIPE provides several convenient options for defining the elevations of
these supports. The support elevations can be
q iven explicitly by a series of vertical ( ) coordinates.
q Defined by a constant radius of curvature, the elevation and angle

of the pipe on the forward part of the barge, and the position of the
tangent point.
q Defined by a constant radius of curvature, the elevation and angle

of the pipe on the forward part of the barge, and the coordinates of
the stern shoe.
The laybarge is modeled by OFFPIPE as a rigid body. There are no

independent degrees of freedom associated with the laybarge. In static
analyses, the position of the laybarge is completely defined by the barge
offsets, trim angle and heading provided by the user. The laybarge model
is illustrated in Figure1-1 .
In dynamic analyses, OFFPIPE models all six ( ) possible motions

of the laybarge. The laybarge motions are defined explicitly by the wave
conditions and response amplitude operators (RAOs) specified by the
user. The wave conditions given by the user can represent either a sin-
gle, regular wave or a two ( ) dimensional wave spectrum.
For a regular wave, both the water surface profile and wave in-
duced motions of the laybarge are assumed to be sinusoidal. The lay-
barge RAOs are used to define the amplitude and phase angle of the
barge motions, as a function of the amplitude and phase angle of the
wave.
6 n abandonment and reco ery analyses the tensioner model is sed to re resent the
laydown winch on the laybar e
11

A continuous wave spectrum is represented by OFFPIPE as a se-

ries of discrete wave components whose frequencies and amplitudes are
chosen to approximate the wave spectrum. The response of the laybarge
to a wave spectrum is calculated by summing its responses to these indi-
vidual component waves. The laybarge RAOs are used to define the am-
plitude and phase angle of each of the laybarge motions as a function of
the amplitude, phase angle and frequency of each component wave.
. . e e
The part of the pipeline or cable lying on the stinger is modeled as
a string of pipe and cable elements which extends from the stern of the
laybarge to the stinger tip. These pipe and cable elements are supported,
on the stinger, by a series of discrete pipe support elements li e those
used on the laybarge.
OFFPIPE provides several options for modeling the stinger. The
stinger can be modeled either as a rigid, fixed extension of the laybarge,
or using a simplified structural model. The stinger models provided by
OFFPIPE include
q
Rigid, fixed extension of the laybarge.
q Flexible structural model. traight when
undeformed. urvature obtained by bending stinger.
11
q i ed cur ature stinger. Flexible or rigid structural model.
Curved when undeformed. sually represents stiff truss design.
q rticu ated stinger. Flexible or rigid segments joined by hinges.
Curvature controlled by ballast schedule.
When the stinger is considered to be a simple extension of the lay-
barge, it is modeled as a rigid body. o structural model of the stinger is
used, and there are no independent degrees of freedom associated with
the stinger. The position and motions of the stinger are completely de-
fined by the corresponding position and motions of the laybarge.
When a structural model of the stinger is re uested, the stinger is
represented by a one-dimensional, lumped parameter model like that
shown in Figure 1-11. This simplified stinger model is composed of a se-
ries of beam-like elements that are joined end-to-end, like the elements
used to model the pipe/cable string.
Each element of the structural stinger model represents a single
section of the stinger. A stinger section is normally considered to be the
part of the stinger which falls between two adjacent pipe supports
and/or stinger hinges. Each stinger element is assigned the combined or
lumped physical properties7 of the matching stinger section. OFFPIPE
permits different physical properties to be specified for the vertical and
horizontal principal planes of the stinger cross section. The element
properties can be varied over the length of the stinger.
Adjacent elements of the stinger model can be rigidly connected to
each other, or joined by hinges which permit rotation about the horizon-
tal and/or vertical principal axes of the stinger cross section. otational
springs may be used to model compliant hinges or bumpers which limit
the rotation between adjacent stinger sections.
OFFPIPE provides several convenient options for defining the ge-
ometry of the stinger. The positions of pipe supports and hinges on the
stinger can be
q iven explicitly by a series of and coordinates.
7The physical properties of the stinger elements include the weight, diaplacement,
bending stiffnesses, pro ected areas, and other characteristics of the stinger cross sec-
tion. The lumped properties of the stinger elements are normally computed by sum-
ming the properties of the actual structural members which ma e up each stinger sec-
tion.

. . pe ppo o e
The pipe supports on the laybarge and stinger are modeled by
OFFPIPE as frictionless, point supports or finite length supports. Each
pipe support normally consists of two pairs of support rollers, li e those
shown in Figure 1-12. The first pair of support rollers is roughly hori-
zontal, and used primarily to support the weight of the pipeline. The
second pair of rollers is roughly vertical, and intended to restrain the lat-
eral movement of the pipeline.
The horizontal rollers, shown in Figure 1-12, can represent either a

single pair of rollers (a point support) or a finite length roller bed. The
vertical side rollers are always modeled as simple point supports. In ad-
dition to the standard pipe support model shown in Figure 1-12, OFF-
PIPE can also model pipe supports that are inverted (upside down) and
octagonal supports that fully encircle the pipeline.

s shown in Figure 1-12, each pair of pipe support rollers can be

mounted at an angle in such a way that the rollers are arranged in a " "
configuration. The two side rollers can also be separated, by a distance
1 1
that is greater than the pipe diameter, so the pipeline must be displaced
laterally before it can contact either side roller.
The pipe support rollers are assumed by OFFPIPE to be linearly

elastic. The properties and physical characteristics of the support rollers
can be specified by the user. OFFPIPE permits the properties of the pipe
supports to be varied over the laybarge and stinger.
1.4.4
The unsupported pipe cable span in the sagbend is modeled by
OFFPIPE as a continuous string of pipe and cable elements. This string
extends from the stinger tip, or stern of the laybarge, to the touchdown
point on the seabed. The lengths of the pipe and cable elements in the
sagbend are chosen by the user. OFFPIPE permits the element lengths
to be held constant, or varied to increase the accuracy of the calculated
pipe stresses and reduce the number of degrees of freedom in the sag-
bend.
1.4.

The seabed is modeled by OFFPIPE as a continuous, elastic-
frictional foundation. The vertical soil reaction is calculated by assuming
that the soil is linearly elastic. The soil reaction is assumed to be con-
tinuously distributed over the length of pipeline or cable lying on the
seabed, and proportional at each point to the vertical deformation of the
soil.
The horizontal force exerted on the pipeline or cable by the soil is

assumed to be bilinear, as shown in Figure 1-1 . When the lateral force
exerted on the soil by the pipeline or cable is less than the minimum
force required to overcome the soil friction, the soil is assumed to be
linearly elastic. The resulting horizontal soil force is proportional to the
lateral displacement of the pipeline.
When the lateral force exerted on the soil by the pipeline is greater
than the force required to overcome friction, the horizontal soil reaction
is assumed to be frictional and proportional to the vertical soil reaction.
22

i re 1-1 e elastic-frictio al lateral soil force
The seabed is modeled by OFFPIPE as a flat surface, but it can

have a non ero slope that is oriented in any direction. The free end of
the pipeline or cable on the bottom can be modeled as lying directly on
the seabed, or attached to a pinned connection that is resting on the
seabed or suspended from a fi ed structure above the bottom.
The use of a continuous elastic-frictional foundation, rather than a

series of discrete spring-like supports, to model the seabed greatly in-
creases the accuracy of the pipe stresses calculated by OFFPIPE. In dy-
namic analyses, it also eliminates the stresses created artificially when
the pipeline suddenly contacts these discrete supports.
it i t
OFFPIPE can be used to calculate the static pipe stresses, pipeline

configuration, and davit line lengths and line tensions for analyses in
which one or more davits on a lift-barge are used to pick-up or manipu-
late a pipeline lying on the seabed. avit lifts of this type are fre uently
used in the installation of conventional platform risers. typical davit
lift is shown in Figure 1-1 .

The Y axis is directed upward, and its orientation is such that the global
Y coordinate of a point is e ual to zero at the water surface, positive
above the surface, and negative below the surface. Note that the global X
and Y axes are defined in such a way that the line along which the pipe-
line is being laid on the seabed the presumed center of the pipeline
right-of-way is contained in the X-Y plane.
The global Z axis is horizontal and perpendicular to the global X-Y

plane. The orientation of the Z axis is such that the X, Y and Z axes form
a right-handed coordinate system2. Note that the global X and Z axes are

con eniently define the positions of pipe supports and other points on the laybarge and
stinger, in the input data. hese temporary coordinate systems are described in ec
tions 3.3.3.2 and 3.3.4.4.

4 The coordinates of pipe supports and other points on the laybarge are defined, in the
input data, in terms of a temporary, laybarge oriented coordinate system (See Section
3.3.3.3). The position of the origin, in the laybarge coordinate system, is chosen by the
user. The position of the X plane (the point at hich X ) is defined implicitly, by the
values given for the X coordinates of points on the laybarge, on the record.

5 FFP P assumes that the laybarge is initially placed directly above the centerline of
the pipeline right-of-way. hen a nonzero heading, trim angle and or offset is applied
to the laybarge, the laybarge is displaced away from this initial position. The origin of
the global coordinate system, however, remains fi ed in its original position above the
right-of-way. Thus, the global and laybarge coordinate systems cannot coincide when
the laybarge heading, trim angle or offset is nonzero.

For the stinger, the horizontal Z" and vertical Y" principal axes are
the local horizontal and vertical axes defined by the symmetry of the
stinger cross section, as shown in Figure 4-5. Note that the principal
axes of the stinger cross section are also defined in such a way that they
form an orthogonal, right-handed coordinate system. Note also that the
orientation of the stinger s principal axes is dependent on the angle of
twist. The principal axes of the stinger cross section roll with the stinger.
.2.2 P in i al Plan
The two principal planes of the pipeline and stinger cross sections
are the planes defined by the longitudinal X" axis, and the Y" and Z"
principal axes of the pipeline and stinger cross section (the X"-Y" and X"-
Z" planes in Figures 4-4 and 4-5). ecause of their orientation, the two
principal planes of the pipeline and stinger cross sections are referred to

In a conventional pipelay analysis, the pipeline and cable (used in

abandonment and recovery problems) are represented by a continuous
string of beam-like pipe and cable elements that extend from the line-up
station or first pipe tensioner on the laybarge, to a point of apparent
fixity on the seabed.6
On the laybarge, the pipeline and laydown cable are normally sup-
ported by one or more discrete pipe supports and tensioner(s)7. These
pipe supports and tensioner(s) are modeled, by OFFPIPE, using specially
designed finite elements, like those shown schematically in Figure 4-6.
The pipe support and tensioner elements are discussed in detail in ec-
tion 4. . . On the stinger, the pipeline and laydown cable are supported
by one or more additional pipe support elements similar to those used on
the laybarge. The finite element model of the pipeline and laydown cable,
on the stinger, is shown schematically in Figure 4-7.
ote that the pipe support and tensioner elements are illustrated
using springs in Figures 4-6 and 4-7. This representation is used only to
indicate that the supports can be assigned user defined stiffnesses, and
that they will deform under load. The actual support models used by
OFFPIPE are much more sophisticated than a simple spring.
The points in the finite element model at which the pipe and cable
elements are oined are referred to herein as . These nodes are the
points at which the displacements, internal forces, and stresses (or
strains) in the pipeline and laydown cable are calculated by OFFPIPE.
In the laybarge and stinger models, the pipe and cable nodes are
placed at the points at which the pipeline and laydown cable are sup-
ported by the pipe supports and tensioner(s).
The pipe and cable nodes are positioned at the support points, be-
cause these are the points of maximum stress or strain in the pipe. The
placement of the nodes at the supports also increases the accuracy of the
calculated pipe stresses, support reactions and separations, and ensures

terminate at a pinned connection which is positioned above the seabed or even, in some
cases, above the water surface.

winch and apply an axial tension to the laydown cable.
that the finite element model has sufficient resolution to accurately
model the deflections of the pipeline and cable between supports. hen
necessary additional unsupported pipe and cable nodes can be inserted
between the supports.

In the sagbend, the unsupported pipe and cable span is modeled
by a continuous string of pipe and cable elements that extends from the
stinger tip, or stern of the laybarge if no stinger is used , to the touch-
down point on the seabed. Note that because the finite element model is
continuous at the stinger tip and the touchdown point, the correct end
conditions for the unsupported span are determined automatically by
OFFPIPE.
On the seabed, the finite element model of the pipeline and lay-
down cable extends from the touchdown point to a point of apparent
fixity8, which represents the end of the finite element model. The pipeline
and laydown cable are supported, on the seabed, by a continuous, elas-
tic-frictional foundation. This elastic-frictional foundation is modeled
using a special soil element, which is discussed in ection . . .
Note that the lower end of the pipe and cable string can terminate
either at a point of fixity on the seabed, or at a pinned connection which
is presumably attached to a fixed platform or other structure which is
above the seabed. If a pinned end connection is used, the pipe/cable
model may or may not be resting on the seabed iin the calculated solu-
tion, depending upon the values of the applied tension, water depth,
length of the pipe/cable string, and other variables.
. . nd ondi ion
The longitudinal and torsional end conditions, for the pipe and ca-
ble model, are applied at the first pipe tensioner on the laybarge and at
the lower end of the pipe/cable string. The manner in which these end
conditions are applied depends upon the type of analysis being per-
formed by OFFPIPE.
In a conventional, static pipelaying analysis, the axial fixity for the

pipe/cable model is provided by the first tensioner on the laybarge. The
longitudinal displacement of the pipe/cable is fixed at the first tensioner,
and the pipe/cable is allowed to move, in the global -axis direction, at
the lower end of the pipe/cable string. The specified tension on the lay-

pipeline or laydown cable is assumed to be constant. The point of apparent fixity is
placed sufficiently far, from the touchdown point, that the pipeline or cable there is un
deformed, except for tensile and torsional e.g. axial deformations, and not affected by
the bending and mo ement of the pipeline, which occur at the touchdown point.

4.3.3

In pipelaying analyses, the laybarge is modeled as a rigid body.
oundary nodes are used, by OFFPIPE, to define the coordinates of the
pipe supports, tensioner(s), and stinger hitch on the laybarge. There are
no mathematical degrees of freedom associated with these boundary
nodes.
4.3.3.

In static analyses, the position of the laybarge and the coordinates

of the boundary nodes, used to represent the pipe supports and ten-
sioner(s) on the barge, are fixed. The laybarge position is completely de-
fined by its draft, heading and trim angle, and its offsets9 in the global
and axis directions.
In dynamic analyses, the laybarge and the boundary nodes used to

represent the pipe supports and tensioner(s) on the barge move together,
as a single rigid body, about the static position defined by the laybarge
trim angle, heading and offsets. All six possible dynamic motions of the
laybarge (surge, heave, sway, roll, pitch and yaw) are modeled by OFF-
PIPE. The six laybarge motions and the sign convention used to define
the motions are illustrated in Figure 4-8. ote that the roll and pitch
motions of the laybarge, shown in Figure 4-8, represent right hand rota-
tions about their respective axes, but the yaw motion represents a
rotation about the vertical ( ) axis.
The six dynamic motions of the laybarge are defined explicitly, as

functions of time, by the wave conditions and laybarge motion response
amplitude operators ( AOs) specified in the input data. The wave condi-
tions that can be specified include ( ) a single regular wave, or ( ) a two
dimensional wave spectrum.
9 he static position of the laybarge is defined by specifying its heading, trim angle and
offsets, in the global X and Z directions. An offset in the X direction is used to displace
the laybarge away from its assumed initial position, and is employed primarily to model
forward and aft displacements of the laybarge, in davit lift analyses. An offset in the Z
direction is used to define the lateral position of the laybarge relative to the pipeline
right-of-way.

The laybarge motion RAOs are curves which define the amplitude,
phase angle and frequency of each of the six laybarge motions as func-
tions of the amplitude, phase angle and frequency of the waves experi-
enced by the laybarge. When a regular wave is specified, the laybarge
motion RAOs are given in the input only for the single wave frequency
and heading being considered. When a wave spectrum is used, the RAOs
must be entered in tabular form to cover the complete range of frequen-
cies present in the spectrum.
or a regular wave, both the wave surface profile and resulting

wave induced motions of the laybarge are assumed to be sinusoidal. The
period of each of the six laybarge motions is assumed to be equal to the
wave period. Thus, of the six laybarge motions is given, as a func-
tion of time, by an equation of the form:
w .
Where: = laybarge motion RAO evaluated at the frequency w;

= pea to trough wave height;
w = circular frequency of the wave (radians second);
= time (seconds);
f = phase angle of the motion evaluated at the frequency w.
The dynamic motions of the laybarge are defined at a single point

on the laybarge which is referred to as the 10. The po-
sition of the center of motion on the barge is arbitrary and determined by
the user. The center of motion may be chosen to coincide with the center
of gravity of the laybarge or any other convenient reference point.
For a regular wave, the wave surface profile at the laybarge center
of motion is given by an equation of the form:

w (4.2)
Note that each of the laybarge motions defined by equation (4. ) is

proportional to the wave height given by equation (4.2), and the constant
of proportionality is given by the response amplitude operator . Note
also that the laybarge motions are, in general, out of phase with the wave
profile. The phase difference between each motion and the wave profile
is given by the phase angle f.
A two dimensional wave spectrum is represented, in OFFP PE, by a

limited number of discrete component waves. Each of these component
waves is assumed to be sinusoidal, li e the single regular wave consid-
ered above. The response of the laybarge to a wave spectrum is obtained
by summing its responses to each of the individual component waves
used to represent the spectrum (linear superposition). The laybarge re-
sponse to each component wave is assumed to be sinusoidal, with a pe-
riod equal to the period of the component wave. Thus, for a wave spec-
trum, of the si motions of the laybarge is given by an equation of
the form:

w f (4. )
here: w = wave frequency of the ith wave component;

= AO for the motion evaluated at the frequency w;
10 he center of motion is also used as the center of rotation hen a non ero alue is
s ecified for the la arge trim angle or heading
= pea to trough wave height for the ith wave component
= phase angle of the motion evaluated at w.
For a wave spectrum, the wave surface profile, at the laybarge

center of motion, is given by an e uation of the form:
w (4.4)
.3.3. ay ar e e e ry
The positions of pipe supports and tensioner(s) on the laybarge are
prescribed, in the input data, by specifying the hori ontal coordinate of
each pipe support or tensioner, and using one of several options illus-
trated in Figure 4- to define the elevations of the supports. The eleva-
tions of the pipe supports and tensioner(s) may be given by:

.
Using this option, the elevation of each pipe support or tensioner is
calculated by the user and given explicitly in the input data.

.
Using this option, the elevations of any pipe supports and tension-
ers aft of the tangent point are given by the circular arc which is
defined by the specified tangent point and radius of curvature.
The elevations of any supports and tensioners forward of the tan-
gent point are given by the straight line that passes through the
tangent point (with the same slope) and extends forward to the
line-up station.

he coordinates and angles of points on the laybarge are e pressed
in the input data in terms of the temporary, laybarge oriented coordinate
system shown in Figure 4-10. In this laybarge coordinate system, the
elevations (Y coordinates) and angles of the pipe supports and all other
points on the laybarge are defined relative to the deck of the laybarge.
For the purpose of specifying these elevations and angles, the deck is as-
sumed to be horizontal (at zero trim).

ote that the position of the Y- plane in the laybarge coordinate

system (the point at which X 0) is chosen by the user, and defined im-
plicitly by the values given on the record for the X coordinates of
the pipe supports and other points on the laybarge. FFPIP only re-
uires that the X coordinates of all points on the laybarge be defined in
terms of a single consistent system, and that the coordinates increase in
value moving from the stern to the bow of the laybarge. owever, it is
standard practice and recommended that the origin of the laybarge coor-
dinate system be placed at the stern (transom) of the laybarge, as shown
in Figure 4-10.
The laybarge coordinate system is used, in OFFPIPE, to simplify
the problem of defining the geometrys of the laybarge and stinger in the
input data. ecause the positions of points on the laybarge are defined
relative to the barge deck, the barge draft, trim angle and heading, and
the barge offsets can be varied without requiring that the user recalcu-
late the position of each point on the laybarge. If it is ever necessary to
reference the elevations of points on the laybarge to the water surface,
this can be accomplished by setting the deck height and trim angle equal
to zero.
ote that the laybarge coordinate system is used to specify

the coordinates of points on the laybarge and stinger in the input data.
In OFFPIPEs printed output, the coordinates of the pipe and cable nodes
on the laybarge and stinger are always expressed in terms of the global
coordinate system discussed in ection . 12.
4.3.4

In pipelaying analyses, OFFPIPE provides a number of options for
modeling the stinger and for defining the stinger geometry. The stinger
can be modeled either as a rigid extension of the laybarge, or using one
of several simplified structural models. The stinger geometry can be de-
fined by specifying the coordinates of each point on the stinger, or using
one of several options which utilize a constant radius of curvature to de-
scribe the position and shape of the stinger.
4.3.4.

hen the stinger is modeled as a rigid extension of the laybarge, it
is referred to as a because its curvature and po-
sition are assumed to be fixed relative to the laybarge. The fixed geome-
try stinger is represented, in OFFPIPE, by a structural model. Its
position and geometry do not change in response to the pipe loads and
hydrodynamic forces acting on the stinger. The positions of pipe sup-
ports on the fixed geometry stinger are defined by boundary nodes, like
those used to define the coordinates of pipe supports on the laybarge see
12 FFP P initially defines the coordinates of points, on the laybarge and stinger, in
terms of the laybarge coordinate system, and then, if a non ero val e is specified for the
laybarge heading, trim angle, or offset in the or direction, applies the given heading,
trim angle, or offset to the laybarge and stinger to obtain their correct three dimensional
positions

The fixed geometry stinger is frequently used, in preliminary analy-
ses and parameter studies, to model conventional, fixed curvature and
articulated stingers. The fixed geometry stinger is also used, in conjunc-
tion with the optional stinger ballast schedule output, to estimate the
stinger ballast distribution required to achieve a given stinger position
and geometry.
4. .4.

hen a structural model is used for the stinger, the static equilib-
rium configuration of the stinger and its dynamic response are automati-
cally calculated by OFFPIPE. In static analyses, the physical properties
and structural characteristics of the stinger, the stinger ballast distribu-
tion, and the pipe and current loads acting on the stinger are used to
determine the stingers equilibrium configuration. In dynamic analyses,
OFFPIPE uses the above parameters plus the motions of the laybarge (at
the stinger hitch) and the wave loads acting on the pipeline and stinger
to determine the stingers dynamic response.
In the structural model used by OFFPIPE, the stinger is repre-

sented by a series of beam-like elements which are joined, end-to-end, to
form a one dimensional, lumped parameter model of the stinger. A typi-
cal stinger model is illustrated in Figure - . The elements of this
lumped parameter model are assigned physical properties (weight, dis-
placement, bending stiffness, etc.) which are equivalent to the combined
or aggregate properties of the multiple members which make up the cor-
responding sections of the actual stinger.
The points at which the stinger elements are joined together in the
finite element model are referred to as the s n e n es. In the stinger
models used by OFFPIPE, these nodes normally coincide with the posi-
tions of the pipe supports and hinges on the stinger. One stinger node is
assigned for each pipe support, and an additional node is generated for
each hinge used in the stinger model when the hinges do not coincide
with the pipe supports. Additional stinger nodes can be inserted be-
tween the hinges and pipe supports when necessary. The pipe support
and hinge nodes are assumed to lie along the centerline of the stinger
model when viewed from above..
OFFPIPE provides three types of beam-like elements for con-

structing its structural stinger model. These three element types, shown
4 4
in Figure 4-12, differ only in the way that the rotational fixities of the
elements are defined at the forward end of each element. The stinger
element types provided by OFFPIPE are:

. This element is rigidly attached to the
preceding stinger element with respect to rotations about both
principal axes of the stinger cross section.

. This element is freely hinged, at its forward
end, with respect to rotations about the horizontal principal axis of
the stinger cross section, and fixed with respect to rotations about
the vertical principal axis.

. This element is freely hinged, at its
forward end, with respect to rotations about both the horizontal
and vertical principal axes of the stinger cross section.
otational springs can be used with the hinged-end and double
hinged-end stinger elements (types 2 and 3 above) to model compliant
(spring loaded) hinges, and bumper-stops which limit the free rotation of
the hinges. For rotations about the horizontal principal axis of the
stinger cross section, these bumper-stops are assumed to be single act-
ing. s shown in Figure 4-13, the bumper-stops are assumed to limit
only the upward vertical displacement of the hinge (this is normally the
case for an articulated stinger). For rotations about the vertical principal
axis, the bumper-stops are assumed to be double acting and to limit ro-
tation in both directions.
4.3.4.3 es o e o es
The three stinger element types, described in the preceding sec-
tion, can be assembled, by OFFPIPE, into three types of structural
stinger models. These three stinger models, shown in Figure 4-14, differ
in the way that the ad acent elements of the stinger model are connected
to each other. The three types of structural stinger models generated by
OFFPIPE are:

. xcept for the first element of the stinger
model, the conventional stinger is assumed to be straight when it
is undeformed. The first element is assumed to be connected to
the stinger at an angle to permit the stinger to be connected to the
hitch, which is normally placed below the longitudinal axis of the
stinger. n its default configuration, the first element of the con-
ventional stinger model is a hinged-end type element. The re-

The typical stinger modeled using the fixed curvature stinger model
consists of one or more very stiff, truss-type sections. Its curva-
ture is fixed and determined by the angle(s) between the stinger
sections and the positions of the pipe supports within each section.
. The articulated stinger model is composed of

two or more hinged sections. Each section is assumed to consist
of several (default 3) stinger elements. Except for the first ele-
ment of the first section, the stinger sections are assumed to be
straight when the sections are undeformed. The first element is
connected to the first section at an angle to permit the stinger to be
connected to the hitch, which is normally placed below the longi-
tudinal axis of the stinger. In its default configuration, the first
element of each section of the articulated stinger model is a
hinged-end (type ) element. The remaining elements in each sec-
tion are fixed-end (type 1) elements.
The typical stinger modeled using the articulated stinger model

consists of a series of relatively short sections which are joined by
hinges. Each section is composed of two straight lengths of pipe
which are joined by several " " or " " shaped cross members. The
hinges at the ends of each section permit rotation about the hori-
ontal principal axis of the stinger cross section, and may permit
limited rotation about the vertical principal axis. Normally, two
pipe supports are mounted on each stinger section. The individual
stinger sections are usually relatively stiff, but because of the pres-
ence of the hinges, the stinger is very flexible overall. The stinger s
curvature is determined by its ballast distribution and the physical
characteristics of the pipeline.
The type of structural stinger model to be generated by OFFPIPE is

specified on the STIN record. Note that the option numbers (1- ) used to
select the stinger type on the STIN record are the same as the indices
(1-3) of the basic stinger types listed above.
The stinger models described above represent the default or stan-

dard configuration for each of the three basic stinger types generated by
OFFPIPE. Other stinger models can be constructed from these three ba-
sic stinger types by specifying the element types of the individual stinger
elements on the STIN record, and overriding the default element type as-
signments made by OFFPIPE.

or example, any of the three basic stinger models can be hinged

at the stinger hitch, to permit rotation about both the hori ontal and
ertical principal axes of the stinger cross-section, by declaring the first
stinger element to be a double hinged type 3 element. imilarly, an ar-
ticulated stinger can be hinged to permit rotation about both principal
axes, at the for ard end of each section, by declaring the first element of
each section to be a double hinged element.
An articulated stinger model can be constructed using any of the

three basic stinger types by specifying a type or type 3 stinger element
at appropriate points in the stinger model. An example of an articulated

The method to be used to define the stinger geometry is specified

on the STIN record. ote that the option numbers (1- ) used to define
the stinger geometry on the STIN record are not the same as the indices
(1- ) given above.
The stinger ang e and position (depth) obtained using any of the
above options can be changed by rotating the stinger about the hitch af-
ter the stinger model has been generated. This feature can be used, for
example, to fix the stinger at the water surface in an abandonment or re-
covery analysis if the pipe loads on the stinger are less than the stinger
buoyancy. This feature also permits the X and Y coordinates given ex-
plicitly for points on the stinger (using option 1 above) to be expressed in
terms of a convenient stinger orientation, and then rotated about the
hitch to a more appropriate working position for the stinger. n example
of the use of stinger rotation is given in ection .2.
Options (2) and (3) above are provided as a convenience for the
user. These options allow the stinger geometry to be specified quickly
and easily in situations, such as parameter studies, which do not require
the stinger geometry to be defined with great precision. In some cases,
these options may not accurately reproduce the geometry of an actual
stinger. Errors can occur because these options use a circular arc to de-
fine the stinger geometry. When a circular arc is used, the position of
the stinger relative to the hitch, and the length and angle of the first
stinger element change each time the stinger radius and tangent point
coordinates are varied. Thus, the stinger geometry may not be repro-
duced accurately at the forward end of the stinger where the first stinger
element is normally angled downward to connect with the hitch.
epending upon the relative magnitudes of the pipe radii used on

the laybarge and stinger, the use of options (2) and (3) can also result in
slightly increased pipe stresses and unevenly distributed pipe support
reactions near the tangent point, because the pipeline cannot make a
sudden transition from one constant radius of curvature to another.
When is necessary to accurately model a specific stinger, it is recom-
mended that options (2) and (3) be used initially to estimate the stinger
geometry, and that option (1) then be used to define the final geometry.
The coordinates of the stinger tangent point always be de-

fined when the stinger geometry is specified using methods (2) and (3)
above. The hori ontal X coordinate of the tangent point is always given
explicitly by the user in the input data. The stinger tangent point is
usually placed at the stern of the laybarge, but its position is arbitrary,
and any other suitable location can be chosen by the user. Two options
are provided by OFFPIPE for defining the elevation (Y coordinate) and an-
gle of the tangent point. The elevation and angle of the tangent point can
be (1) given explicitly in the input data, or (2) they can be calculated in-
ternally by OFFPIPE in such a way that the circular arc defined by the
stinger radius is tangent to the curve defined by the elevations of the
pipe supports on the laybarge.
The stinger radius must always be specified for an articulated
stinger model, regardless of which of the above options (1-3) is used to
define the stinger geometry. The stinger radius is re uired because
OFFPIPE constructs its articulated stinger models by fitting the stinger
sections, in a piece-wise linear fashion, to the circular arc defined by the
given stinger radius and tangent point.
ote that when the positions of the pipe supports and hinges on an
articulated stinger are defined by entering their X and Y coordinates ex-
plicitly (option 1 above), only the lengths of the stinger sections and the
angle of the first stinger element relative to the first section are defined
by these coordinates. The overall position and curvature of the stinger
are defined by the given stinger radius and tangent point. ecause the
stinger position is defined by its radius and tangent point, the X and Y
coordinates given for points on the stinger do not have to represent a
curved stinger configuration. The stinger elements can simply be laid
out horizontally, as they might be in fabrication drawings of the stinger
sections.
The position of the stinger hitch on the laybarge must always be

specified when the stinger geometry is defined using method ( ) above,
and whenever an articulated stinger model or structural stinger model is
used. The position of the stinger hitch is specified by entering the hori-
zontal X coordinate and elevation (Y coordinate) of the stinger hitch pin
centerline. The position of the stinger hitch, the position and angle of the
stinger tangent point, and the X and Y coordinates of all points on the
stinger are defined, in the input data, in terms of the temporary laybarge
coordinate system. The laybarge coordinate system is shown in Figure 4-
1 and discussed in ection 4.3.3.3.
In the laybarge coordinate system, the elevations and angles of

points on the laybarge and stinger are defined relative to the deck of the
laybarge. For the purpose of describing the stinger geometry, the barge
deck is assumed to be horizontal (at zero trim). The coordinates of points
on the laybarge and stinger are automatically transformed by OFFPIPE
from the laybarge coordinate system to the position in the global coordi-
nate system defined by the laybarge heading, trim angle and offsets. ny
trim angle, heading or offset specified for the laybarge is always applied
to both the laybarge and stinger.
hen the X and Y coordinates of points on the stinger are defined

explicitly in terms of a temporary, stinger oriented coordinate system, as

s shown in Figure 4-16, the two pairs of pipe support rollers can
be inclined, or mounted at an angle, in such a way that each pair of roll-
ers is arranged in a " " configuration. When mounted in this way, the
bottom pair of support rollers also tends to restrain the lateral displace-
ments of the pipeline or cable. The angles of the bottom rollers and side
rollers, relative to the local hori ontal and vertical axes of the pipe sup-
port, are specified by the user.
The two side rollers of each pipe support may be separated by a

distance which is greater than the external diameter of the pipe. When
the side rollers are separated in this way, the pipe must be displaced lat-
erally before it can come in contact with either of the side rollers. The
side rollers are separated by specifying the offset between each side roller
and the centerline of the support, as shown in Figure 4-16. n three di-
mensional analyses, the pipeline and cable are always assumed to lie
between the two side rollers of the pipe supports. The height of the side
rollers is assumed to be infinite. The pipeline and laydown cable are not
permitted to climb above or over the top of the side rollers.
The basic pipe support element described above, and shown in
Figure -1 , is used by FFPIP to model three different types of pipe
supports. These three types of pipe supports are
. imple pipe support . In two dimensions, a simple pipe support

resists only the downward vertical displacement of the pipeline or
cable. The support reaction exerted on the pipe by the support
acts only in the upward direction, and the pipeline is free to lift-off
the support when appropriate. In three dimensions, the simple
pipe support uses side rollers, and may use bottom rollers
mounted in a V configuration, to restrain the lateral displace-
ment of the pipeline. The side rollers may be vertical or inclined at
an angle, and may be separated in such a way that the pipeline
must displace laterally before it comes in contact with the side roll-
ers. This is the de ult pipe support type.
. n erted pipe support. An inverted pipe support is a simple

type 1 pipe support that is mounted upside down. In two dimen-
sions, the inverted support resists only the upward vertical dis-
placement of the pipeline or cable. The support reaction exerted
on the pipe by the support acts only in the downward direction,
and the pipeline is free to fall below the support when appropriate.
In three dimensions, the inverted pipe support uses side rollers,
and may use hori ontal rollers mounted in a V configuration, to
restrain the lateral displacement of the pipeline. The side rollers
may be vertical or inclined at an angle, and may be separated in
such a way that the pipeline must displace laterally before it comes
in contact with the side rollers.
. ull encirclement support. A full encirclement pipe support

combines the functions of both the type 1 and type pipe supports
in a single support. In two dimensions, it can resist both the up-
ward and downward vertical displacements of the pipeline or cable.
The top and bottom rollers can be separated in such a way that the
gap between the top and bottom rollers is larger than the external
diameter of the pipe. In three dimensions, the full encirclement
support uses four pairs of rollers that can be mounted in either a
rectangular or octagonal configuration. The support uses two
pairs of side rollers, and may use top and bottom rollers mounted
in a V configuration, to restrain the lateral displacement of the
pipeline. The side rollers may be vertical or inclined at an angle,
and may be separated in such a way that the pipeline must dis-
place laterally before it comes in contact with the side rollers. The

The physical properties of the pipeline and cable are defined by
entering their values into the pipe/cable property table. Each row of the
pipe/cable property table defines the physical properties of one segment
of the pipe or cable string. The properties of the pipeline and cable can
be varied over the length of the pipe/cable string by storing the length
and properties of each pipe or cable segment in a different row of the
property table.
The properties stored in the pipe/cable property table are assigned

to the pipe and cable elements, beginning at the first station on the lay-
barge, in the order in which they are stored in the table. For example, in
an abandonment or recovery analysis, the first entry in the pipe/cable
property table would be used to define the length and properties of the
laydown cable. The second entry in the table would then be used to de-
fine the properties of the pipeline.
If the pipeline has no external coatings, the only values of the pipe
properties that be specified in the input data are the pipe diameter,
wall thickness and yield strength. If the pipe weight, cross sectional area
and moment of inertia are not entered, their values will be calculated
using the values specified for the pipe diameter and wall thickness.
If the thickness and specific weights of the pipe coatings are

specified in the input data, OFFPIPE will calculate the increase in the
pipe weight, external diameter and displaced volume of the pipeline due
to the external pipe coatings. The thickness of the weight coating can
also be specified by entering the desired specific gravity, of the pipeline.
If the value of the specific gravity is specified, and the weight coating
thickness is not given, OFFPIPE will calculate the weight coating thick-
ness re uired to achieve the desired specific gravity.
ecause OFFPIPE automatically calculates the weight, cross sec-

tional area and moment of inertia of the pipeline, it is not necessary, in
most cases, to specify their values in the input data. These parameters
are included in the input only to permit the values calculated by OFF-
PIPE to be overridden in special situations. The values of these parame-
ters might be specified, for example, to change the submerged pipe
weight to reflect the addition of external flotation, or to increase the ef-
fective bending stiffness of the pipeline to simulate the stiffening effect of
44
the pipe coatings. OFFPIPE does not consider the effect of the pipe
coatings when calculating the bending stiffness of the pipe.
It should be noted that the values entered for the cross sectional
area and moment of inertia of the pipeline are used only to determine the
axial and bending stiffnesses of the pipeline. These stiffnesses are used
to determine the deformed geometry and internal forces in the pipeline,
but they are not used to calculate the pipe stresses or strains. The pipe
stresses and strains are calculated on the basis of the values given for
the diameter and wall thickness of the bare (steel) pipe.
ote also that OFFPIPE allows a stress intensification factor to be

specified for each pipe segment. This stress intensification factor can be
used to increase the calculated bending stresses or strains in the pipe-
line, to simulate such effects as a shift in the neutral axis or a stress
concentration at the field joints. The stress intensification factor is not
re uired, however, to calculate the increased bending stresses which oc-
cur, at the field joints, when the moment of inertia of the pipeline is in-
creased to simulate the stiffening effect of the pipe coatings. In this case,
the pipe stresses are calculated correctly because they are based on the
moment of inertia of the bare pipe.
4.4.
The laydown cable used in abandonment, recovery and initiation
analyses is modeled by a beam-like element whose bending stiffness (EI)
is negligible compared to that of the pipeline. lthough the bending
stiffness of cable elements is assumed to be very small, its value t be
greater than ero to correctly model the behavior of the cable between
pipe supports on the laybarge and stinger. If the bending stiffness of the
cable is not specified, its default value will be assigned by OFFPIPE. The
default bending stiffness for cable elements is assumed to be propor-
tional to the bending stiffness of the first pipe entry in the pipe cable
property table:
EIc EIp ( . )
here: EIc = bending stiffness of the laydown cable,

EIp = bending stiffness of the first pipe entry.
44
If the axial stiffness (EA) of the laydown cable is not specified, its
value is assumed to be equal to the axial stiffness of the first pipe entry
in the pipe cable property table. If the weight of the laydown cable is not
specified, it is assumed to be equal to seventy ( ) percent of the weight
of a solid steel bar which has the same diameter as the laydown cable.
4.4.

In OFFPIPE, the properties of the various pipe supports, tensioners
and davits on the laybarge and stinger are entered by loading their val-
ues into the support property table. The properties and support types of
the pipe support elements are then assigned, in the input data, by refer-
encing the row of the support property table in which the properties are
stored.
Each row of the support property table can be used to define the
support type and physical properties for one ind of pipe support ele-
ment. The support type is indicated in the property table by an index in
the range (1-6). The support types presently recogni ed by OFFPIPE are
. imple pipe support.
. Pipe tensioner17.
. Inverted pipe support.
. ertical containment support.
. Axial force davit cable element.
. atenary davit cable element.
Property table rows (1-6) are re er e for the support types listed
above, to ensure that the physical properties are always defined for any
default pipe support assignments made by OFFPIPE. Property table rows
numbered greater than six may be used for any support type. The sup-
port properties can be entered into the table in any order. The properties
17 The finite elements used, by FFP P , to model the pipe tensioner(s) and davit cables
on the laybar e, are considered to be special inds of pipe supports. Thus, the proper
ties of the tensioner(s) and davit cables are stored in the support property table. See
Section . for a discussion of davit lift analyses.
44
do have to be given in the order in which they appear on the laybarge
or stinger.
The use of this support property table allows the same properties
to be assigned for multiple pipe supports without reentering the proper-
ties for each support. ecause the support properties and support types
are assigned by simply referencing a row of the support property table, a
single table entry can be used to define the properties of several identical
supports.
The support properties and support types can be varied by simply
entering the properties and support type of each different pipe support in
a separate row of the support property table. ote that more than one
entry in the table can be assigned the same support type (but different
properties). For example, multiple property table entries can be used to
describe simple (type 1) pipe supports which have different roller angles
or different separations between the side rollers.
4.4.4 e u t upport ropert e

FFP P provides two different methods for defining the stiffnesses
of pipe support elements. The stiffnesses can be defined either (1) by
specifying the stiffnesses of the support rollers explicitly in the input
data, or ( ) by specifying the deflection of the support rollers under an
internally generated reference pipe load. When the stiffnesses of the pipe
support elements are not specified explicitly, the second method above is
used to calculate their default values. The default values for the stiff-
nesses of the pipe support rollers are given by an equation of the form:
Ks Wp Dp 0 00 ( .10)
Where: Ks = roller stiffness;

Wp = reference pipe load;
Dp = external pipe diameter.
The reference pipe load W is approximately equal to the weight of
the average pipe span, between supports, on the laybarge and stinger.
The quantity (Dp x 0.001) above is the assumed default value of the sup-
port deflection.
4 44
4.4.
The element types and physical properties of the stinger elements

are entered by loading their values into the stinger element property ta-
ble. The physical properties and element type of the stinger elements are
then assigned by specifying the row of the element property table in
which the properties are stored.
Each row of the stinger element property table can be used to de-
fine the physical properties and element type for one ind of stinger ele-
ment. The three types of stinger elements presently supported by OFF-
PIPE are
. Fixed-end beam element.
. inged-end element.
. ouble hinged-end element.
Property table rows (1- ) are reserved for the stinger element types
shown above, to ensure that the element properties are always defined
for the default stinger element assignments made by OFFPIPE. Property
table rows numbered greater than three may be used for any stinger
element type. The stinger element properties can be entered into the ta-
ble in any order. The properties do have to be given in the order in
which the elements are used in the stinger model.
The use of this stinger element property table allows the same
properties to be assigned for multiple elements without reentering the
properties for each one. ecause the stinger element properties and ele-
ment types are assigned by simply referencing a row of the property ta-
ble, a single table entry can be used to define the properties of several
identical elements.
The stinger element properties and element types can be varied by

simply entering the properties and element type of each different element
in a separate row of the property table. ote that more than one entry in
the table can be assigned the same element type (but different proper-
ties). For example, multiple property table entries can be used to de-
scribe fixed-end (type 1) stinger elements having different bending stiff-
nesses or hydrodynamic properties.
44
The properties stored in the stinger element property table include
the element type, the physical properties of the stinger cross section, and
the angles of free rotation of the stinger hinges. ecause their values are
normally different for each element, the weights, displacements and bal-
last contents of the stinger elements are stored in the property table.
The values of these properties are entered separately, using the
and B LL records. In static analyses, it is often convenient to combine
the weights, displacements and ballast contents of the stinger elements
and specify the net buoyancy s of the stinger elements18 instead. The net
buoyancies of the stinger elements can be entered using the B rec-
ord.
The physical properties of the stinger are assumed to be constant

over the length of each stinger element. The weight, ballast contents and
displacement of each stinger element are assumed to be uniformly dis-
tributed over the element. If, for any reason, it is necessary to suddenly
change the stinger properties within an element, additional nodes (and
elements) can be inserted into the stinger model so the property change
can ta e place at an element boundary.
4.4. e lt tin er le ent r ertie

If the physical properties of the stinger elements are not specified,
FFPIPE assigns default values for the axial stiffness and bending stiff-
nesses of the elements, and the angles of free rotation of the hinges at
the forward end of type and type elements. The default stiffnesses of
the stinger elements are set sufficiently high that each element effectively
behaves as a rigid body. The default stiffnesses are normally ade uate
for analyses involving articulated and fixed curvature stingers. owever,
for flexible, conventional stingers which deform significantly under load,
the correct bending stiffnesses of the actual stinger cross section should
be given explicitly in the input data.
The default values for the axial and bending stiffnesses of the
stinger elements are assumed to be proportional to the corresponding
stiffnesses of the first pipe entry in the pipe cable property table. The
default axial stiffness (E ) of the stinger elements is given by
EA EA ( .11)
18 he net b oyancy of a stinger element is the difference between the dis lacement and
the weight and ballast contents of the element

The dynamic response of the pipeline and stinger is obtained, in

the time domain, by using a numerical method to directly integrate the
nonlinear differential equations of motion for the pipeline and stinger.
4.5.
The numerical method used, by FFPIP , to integrate the equa-
tions of motion is a form of the trapezoidal rule given by:

(4,14)

here: = time step length ( and both positive);
= global coordinate vector at the nth time step;
= global coordinate velocity vector at the nth time step;
= global coordinate acceleration vector at the nth time

step.
The above form of the trapezoidal rule is a second order method,

fully implicit and unconditionally stable. It incorporates numerical
damping to ensure the stability of the time integration and prevent spu-
rious oscillation of the numerical solution. The amount of numerical
damping introduced by the above form of the trapezoidal rule is deter-
mined by the damping ratio. The damping ratio is given by:

(4.1 )
The damping ratio can vary from a minimum value of = 0.0 to a

maximum value of = 1.0. value of = 0.0 corresponds to zero
damping, and a value of = 1.0 corresponds to maximum or first order

Time step length = 0.2 seconds

Maximum integration time = 60 seconds
Starting time for sampling = 60 seconds
Sampling time step length = time step length x 2
amping atio = 0.1
Note that the sampling time step length must be an integer multi-
ple of the integration time step length. Note also that the default inte-
gration time given for a wave spectrum is very short. much longer time
period would normally be used with a wave spectrum to ensure that an
adequate number of waves have been sampled.

The hydrodynamic forces exerted on the pipeline and stinger by
steady currents and waves, and by the dynamic motions of the pipeline
and stinger, are calculated using Morison's equation20. Morison's equa-
tion is given by:
Q 1 rd Cd ( Vf - Vp ) | Vf - Vp | +
.16
Af ( 1 + Ca ) r a - Ap r Ca a
here: Q = hydrodynamic force per-unit-length acting on the pipe-

line or stinger;
r = density of sea water;
d = pro ected area per-unit-length of the pipeline or stinger;
Cd = drag coefficient;
Vf = wave and or current induced water particle velocity per-
pendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pipeline or
stinger;
Vp = velocity of the pipeline or stinger in the direction perpen-
dicular to its longitudinal axis;
Af = wave induced water particle acceleration perpendicular to
the longitudinal axis of the pipeline or stinger;

The velocity vector for a steady current is assumed to be horizontal

(parallel to the ater surface). The vertical component of the steady cur-
rent velocity is not considered by FFP P . The steady current velocity
is also set e ual to zero at the seabed to ensure the hydrodynamic sta-
bility of the pipeline lying on the seabed (the pipeline is assumed to be
lying in the boundary layer).
The sign convention used, by OFFPIPE, to define the direction of
flow for a steady current is the same as that used to define the laybarge
heading and the direction of travel for waves. The direction of flow is the
angle between the hori ontal current velocity vector and the global X
axis. The direction of flow is positive when the rotation of the current
velocity vector about the vertical axis is cloc wise when viewed from
above. A direction of 0.0 degrees corresponds to a current that is flowing
in the positive X axis direction. A direction of 0 degrees corresponds to
a current that is flowing in the positive axis direction. The sign con-
vention used for the direction of flow is shown in Figure - 0.

In dynamic analyses, OFFPIPE can determine the wave induced

motions of the laybarge, and the hydrodynamic forces exerted on the
pipeline and stinger, by a single regular wave or a two dimensional wave
spectrum.

OFFPIPE permits the constant bending stiffness (EI) of pipe entries
in the pipe cable property table to be replaced by a nonlinear moment
curvature relationship. This moment curvature relationship is assumed
to be given by a Ramberg-Osgood equation of the form:
( . )
here: = Ramberg-Osgood equation coefficient;

= Ramberg-Osgood equation e ponent;
= pipe curvature ( );
= pipe curvature at the nominal yield stress;
=
My = pipe bending moment at the nominal yield stress;
= 2 sy I/D
E = modulus of elasticity of the pipe steel;
D = outside diameter of the steel pipe;
I = moment of inertia of the steel pipe;
sy = nominal yield stress of the pipe steel.
The above nonlinear moment-curvature relationship is primarily
used to model the nonlinear behavior of the pipe when the yield strength
of the pipe steel has been exceeded. ote that for A = , the above Ram-
berg-Osgood equation reduces to the usual linear relationship K = M/EI.
typical moment curvature relationship for the pipe is shown in Figure
4-23.
OFFPIPE provides three options for defining the coefficient A and

exponent B moment used in equation (4.1 ). The coefficient and expo-
nent in the Ramberg-Osgood equation may be given by
. entering the values of the coefficient A and exponent B explic-

itly in the input data,
2. selecting OFFPIPEs built-in default moment curvature rela-

tionship and specifying the yield stress ratio Ry for the pipe
steel,
. specifying the values of the pipe curvature Ki and bending

moment Mi at two points on the curve, as illustrated in Figure
4-23.
hen the built-in, default moment curvature relationship is se-

lected (option 2), OFFPIPE estimates the values of the coefficient A and
exponent B based on the pipe properties and the yield stress ratio Ry for
the pipe steel. The yield stress ratio is used to specify the actual yield
strength of the pipe steel. It is the ratio of the actual, measured yield
strength of the pipe steel to its nominal or minimum specified value
(S S). The yield strength ratio is usually in the range (1 < Ry < 1.3).
In OFFPIPEs default moment-curvature relationship, the coeffi-

cient and exponent for the Ramberg-Osgood equation have been chosen
to approximate the nonlinear bending stiffness of a typical or average
pipe steel. The default moment curvature relationship is a composite
based on pipe bending stiffness data from several sources. It is provided
for use in analyses in which the actual properties of the pipe steel are not

position of the pipeline, relative to the lift barge, is defined in terms
of its initial position lying on the seabed to ensure that calculations
performed for different lift heights refer to the same barge position.
The positions of the davits, on the dec of the lift barge, are defined
by specifying the hori ontal ( ) coordinates and elevations ( coordinates)
of the davits, on the BARG record or screen. These coordinates define
the positions of the points at which the davit cables originate on the lift
barge (the heads of the davits or lifting crane). The coordinates of the
davits are expressed in terms of the lift barge coordinate system, shown
in Figure -10.
In a davit lift analysis, the pipe nodes are positioned in such a way
that they coincide with the davit slings, which are are the points at which
the davit lines are attached to the pipeline. The positions of the davit
slings are defined, on the BARG record or screen, by specifying the
length(s) of the pipe element(s) forward of each sling. The lengths of the
pipe elements are entered, beginning at the free end of the pipeline, and
proceeding toward the end of the lift barge farthest from the free end.

be performed by specifying the length of each of davit line. owever,
specified line lengths are much more difficult to work with than specified
line tensions, because the line tensions are very sensitive to changes in
the lengths of the davit lines. It is difficult to adjust the line lengths in
such a way that the pipeline is uniformly supported by the davits. The
fixed davit line length option, provided by OFFPIPE, is intended primarily
for modeling lift barge displacements which are performed with the davit
line lengths held constant.
The lift barge can be displaced during a davit lift by changing its
heading and or offset, in the global X or coordinate direction, on the
record or screen. lift barge offset, in the X direction, can be
used to simulate a forward or aft displacement of the lift barge during a
lift. Lift barge displacements in the X direction may be required in deep
water, because of the movement of the free end of the pipeline (the short-
ening of the projected length of the pipeline) which occurs as the pipeline
approaches the water surface. Lateral displacements of the lift barge or
changes in heading may also be used to pull the pipeline away from the
right-of-way or to reposition the pipeline for an underwater connection or
riser installation.
In OFFPIPE, the davit lines can be modeled using a simple axial
force element or a true catenary element. The axial force element is best
suited for problems in which the davit lines are nearly vertical. In the
axial force element, the curvature of the davit lines is neglected. The line
of action of the davit line tension is assumed to be the straight line ex-
tending from the head of the davit, on the lift barge, to the attachment
sling on the pipeline. Neglecting the curvature of the davit lines does not
significantly affect analyses in which the davit lines are nearly vertical,
but it can have an adverse effect in problems in which the angle between
the davit lines and the vertical ( ) axis is large.
The true catenary davit cable element, which takes into considera-
tion the weight and curvature of the davit lines, is intended for use when
the angle of the davit lines is sufficiently large that the curvature of the
davit lines has a significant effect on the angle at which the line tension
acts on the pipeline. The catenary davit cable element is based on the
exact, analytic solution for the catenary equation with elongation. This
solution breaks down (becomes undefined) when the davit lines are verti-
cal. In practice, the catenary davit cable element can be used for most
davit lift analyses, but the use of this element can adversely affect the
convergence of the Newton- aphson iterative procedure employed by
OFFPIPE, if it is used for vertical or nearly vertical davit lines.

4The pipe radius on the stinger is slightly less than the pipe radius on the laybarge ee
Table . because the reduced submerged weight and shorter span length between
supports result in lower pipe stresses on the stinger.

2 FFP P calculates the e act coordinates of the point at which the pipeline touches
down on the sea ed. owever, the values of the pipe coordinates, internal forces, and
stresses or strains are printed in the

onl for the pipe nodes.

3 The desired pipe tension on the laybarge is generated, in static analyses, by fixing the
axial displacement of the pipeline on the laybarge and applying a horizontal force to the
free end of the pipeline lying on the seabed. The pipe tension printed in the
is the tension actually produced on the laybarge by the this horizontal
force.
4These ballast schedules are based on assumptions that may not be correct for any spe
cific stinger. They are intended to serve as possible starting points for a more exact
ballast schedule to be developed by the user.

7The ballast schedule has been corrected for the small difference in the pipe weight be
tween the present example and the preceding one.
8Four estimated ballast schedules are given in the St e alla t S e ule ut ut.
9 The maximum angle of free hinge rotation, about the horizontal principal axis of the
stinger cross section, is initially set equal to degrees by OFFPIPE. owever, when the
SECT record is used, the maximum angle of free rotation must be specified correctly on
the SECT record because an angle of zero degrees which is equivalent to a blan field
on the SECT record is a permissable value for the angle of free rotation and thus must
be accepted by OFFPIPE.

1The pipe stresses at the touchdown point cannot be compared, for the two solutions,
because the are not measured at the same point. The non ero bottom slope causes the
touchdown point to be shifted forward in the present e ample.

2 ecause the stinger is articulated, and because the ballast schedule provided by OFF-
PIPE for an articulated stinger is only approximate, the final e uilibrium position of the
stinger does not agree exactly with that obtained in the previous examples.
3If the stinger element types are not specified for an articulated stinger, OFFPIPE as-
sumes that the stinger consists of a series of hinged sections each of which is composed
of one type (hinged-end) element followed by two type (fixed-end) elements.

1 he touchdown points cannot occur at the same point in the two examples, because of
the bottom slope used in the present example. owever, the soil reactions at the two
nodes brac eting the touchdown point can be combined and compared to each other.
hen the combined soil reactions are calculated, they are found to be almost identical.
2 lthough the procedures used in the field for pipeline abandonment and recovery op
erations may differ, the methods used to analy e the two problems are the same.

n the present e ample, the tangent point is positioned in such a way

that it coincides with the pivot point.
The coordinates and angles of the pipe supports, pivot point and
tangent point are entered on the record. The use of a tangent
point and straight line to define the initial positions of the supports, and
a separate pivot point to define the ramp orientation, permits the ramp
angle to be varied without having to recalculate the support coordinates
each time the angle is changed.

11

The properties of the last two pipe supports on the laybarge are
specified using two PP records. The properties entered for these sup-
ports include their element types, roller angles, roller heights and side
roller offsets. The last two supports are designed to form a "bellmouth"
at the stern of the laybarge. ach of the supports consists of eight rollers

1 FFP P assumes that the original position of the lift barge is its position before the
specified heading, trim angle, and offsets are applied to the barge. hen the lift barge
is in its original position, the X planes of the lift barge and global coordinate systems
coincide. Thus, the X coordinate of the free end of the pipeline, entered on the O
record, actually defines its position in both the lift barge and global coordinate systems.
2 The value given for the soil coefficient of friction
f . is e ual to the default value.
The coefficient of friction is given explicitly, in this example, to illustrate the use of the
O record.
