Input

These are the three basic building blocks of the design process for the mooring system of a semisubmersible.

The process is a so-called iterative process. Some steps are dependent of other steps.                                                                                                                                                              

The 'Input block' describes all the input data which consist of roughly three categories:

bullet

                The environmental data.

bullet

                The data concerning the semi-submersible.

bullet

                The functional requirements.                                                                                                                                                                                   
NOT OK

The 'System determination block' consists of the following steps:

bullet

                Determination of the mooring system type of the semi-submersible.

bullet

                Determination of the anchor type and material of the anchor.

The 'Check block' finally checks if the requirements are being achieved. Also some standard rules are being checked.                                                                                                   If one of these requirements is not achieved, the designer has to change  some parameter(s) and run through the flow chart again.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
OK
