*CABPRO

Data format:

An arbitrary number of cards with 9 parameters each, as follows:

IPRO LENGTH MASS D CD CM CDL CML ES O1 O2 O3 O4 O5 CL
...

Status:

Mandatory when cable elements are used

Purpose:

To define mechanical and geometrical properties of a set of cable elements

Restriction:

The total number of cable element properties sets is limited to MAXPRO (version dependent)

Details :

Parameter	Description
IPRO	Identification number of the following set of properties
LENGTH	Initial length of the cable element under zero tension and temperature
MASS	Mass per unit length of cable
D	Diameter Note: D is the outer diameter used for buoyancy and hydrodynamic forces calculation.
CD	Morison normal drag coefficient
CM	Morison normal inertia coefficient
CDL	Morison axial drag coefficient
CML	Morison axial inertia coefficient
ES	obsolete parameter
O1	obsolete parameter
O2	obsolete parameter
O3	obsolete parameter
O4	obsolete parameter
O5	obsolete parameter
CL	Lift coefficient (to be used in conjunction with *LIFTOPTION
