Numerical Modeling of Nonlinear Coupling between Lines/Beams with Multiple Floating Bodies

Nonlinear coupling problems between the multiple bodies or between the mooring/riser and the offshore platform are incorporated in the CHARM3D-MultiBody, a fully coupled time domain analysis program for multiple bodies with moorings and risers. The nonlinear spring connection module and the three di...
