Guid posts

Us this tab to define Guid posts attached to the BOP Stack component. Guide posts are four-inch-OD cylinders distant by 101 from each other around the stack. In the Guide posts tab the user can specify parameters of the guide posts:

  • Diameter (D)

  • Height (H) comparing from z=0 in the local frame of the BOP stack.

  • Distance between centres (by default 101).

  • Reference centre point defined by XY coordinates in the local frame of the BOP stack.

These guide posts are used for the visualization in the pre-processing and in the clash check calculations in the post-processing only.

Note

It is assumed that imaginary lines connecting the adjacent posts are parallel to Ox and Oy axis in the local frame of the BOP stack.
