Homework Statement


hi,i am using pipe289 to simulate a marine riser in ansys,
the length of marine riser:1000m
the outside diameter of marine riser:0.5334m
the thickness of marine riser:0.0254
the velocity of current:1m/s
the wave peroid:8s
the wave height:6.5m
boudary conditions: ux/uy on node 1 and ux/uy/uz on node 2, a force(5e6) was applied on node 1

Homework Equations


N/A

The Attempt at a Solution


after i set the boudary conditions and ocean loads, the displacement is very large(1000m),i have tried to change the variables, i found the velocity of current has a big difference to the result, Can someone help ? Much appreciated thanks!
