Thin-walled Pipe cross section

The cross section is used to model parts of the slender system where the cross section can be described by as a pipe with homogeneous material properties.

The cross section is similar to the AxisymmetricCrossSection, but the mechanical properties of the cross section are generated by teh program.

The hydrodynamic load models

  • Morison’s generalized Equation

  • Morison partly submerged cross sections

  • MacCamy Fuchs

  • Potential flow

  • Time domain VIV loads

  • No hydrodynamic loads

are available for Thin-walled Pipe cross sections. For details, please see Hydrodynamic load models.
