Welcome to the Flexcom software tutorials. These videos provide a practical overview of how to use the software, and take you step-by-step through sample model creation and analysis.
This worked example considers a flexible riser in steep wave configuration. It is a very straightforward example, and illustrates basic model building principles.
The example consists of a static analysis of the riser, followed by a dynamic analysis of the riser subject to wave loading and first-order vessel motions.
Once you have mastered the basics, you should proceed to the second tutorial video. This is a more complex example, which considers a free standing hybrid riser arrangement. In addition to the fundamental concepts introduced in this tutorial, the next video also includes some more advanced topics, such as Pipe-in-Pipe, Keyword Parameterisation, Summary Postprocessing and Summary Postprocessing Collation, Code Checking and Video Creation.
