SEADYN User's Manual
Abstract
This report describes the input structure and general use of the nonlinear cable dynamics computer model SEADYN. This program performs static, time and frequency domain dynamic, and modal analyses for arbitrarily configured cable-truss structures. Significant capabilities include: multi-materials, bottom interaction, nonlinear material properties, material damping, payout reel-in, strumming effects, spatially varying current fields, imposed motions, and random wave loading. Results can be saved and reused during the current execution or at a later date. A free-field input reader is used.
