This chapter provides analysis procedures for the verification of the mooring system to the design requirements specified in Chap. 2. Depending on the level of sophistication and analysis objectives, quasi-static and dynamic analysis methods may be used. Both frequency and time domain approaches are acceptable. The designer should determine the extreme offset and line tension in a manner consistent with the chosen method of analysis. For deepwater operations with many production risers, the mooring system analysis should consider the riser loads, stiffness and damping due to significant interactions between the floating structure, mooring system and riser system.
