What happens when a fishing trawl gear hits and drags a subsea pipeline? This ABAQUS/Explicit simulation reveals the real-world stress, deformation, and soil interaction using a fully coupled finite element model.
🧠Model Details:
-
Pipeline OD: 0.5 m
-
Material: Steel (Elastic-Plastic)
-
Soil: Elastic foundation
-
Trawl Gear: Rigid impactor
📌 Learn how to simulate subsea impacts for offshore engineering, oil & gas safety, and marine infrastructure risk assessment.
