Dear all,
I am writing you to ask some advice about the mooring system of the OC4 floating platform.
My desire is to run FAST with this support platform, for a water depth different from the default one (200 m).
How can I change then the mooring system (depth is 55 m for my case)?
I was thinking to keep the mooring line mass and structural properties (axial stiffness, diameter, mass per unit length), and then to find the anchor position and line unstretched length which give the same vertical force and line angle at the fairlead, that the system has for a depth of 200 m, at rest (in absence of waves and wind).
Honestly, I am not sure whether this approach is correct or not.
I am looking forward to receive your suggestions and opinions.
All the best,
