Risers

Risers marine engineering project exampleHouston Offshore Engineering's full capability for various riser systems includes:
  • TTR /SCR configuration and sizing
  • Buoyancy can design and analysis
  • Interference check
  • Riser system installation analysis
  • Vortex induced vibration evaluation
  • Strength and fatigue calculation
  • Riser component nonlinear analysis
  • Field support
We specialize in the application of multi-tube/pipe-in-pipe methodology for riser in-place and installation studies.
 
Software includes ABAQUS, ANSYS, Orcaflex, Shear7, Flexcom3D, fully coupled analysis program HARP and a number of other in-house developed programs, user subroutines, and user elements for solving special riser problems such as contact problems, center well hydrodynamics, soil riser interaction, etc.
