Abstract

We present an object-oriented framework, named DOOLINES , for non-linear static and dynamic analyses of slender marine structures which often appear in offshore structures employed in the petroleum and gas industries as, among others, flexible risers, steel catenary risers, umbilicals, floating hoses, and mooring lines. DOOLINES allows the rapid development of tailored, modular, reusable and extensible large-size systems, being itself extensible. These properties, along with the ease of use of our framework, are assessed by means of case studies. Code examples are provided.
