Furthermore, the issue persists for a wave height of H = 1 meter (the mass/unit length has been recalculated to 493,1kg/m). Below, I provide a comparison between the in-house calculations and those obtained from AQWA. Notably, each line’s initial cable tension data, as computed by AQWA, are approximately 1220 kN at the start and 1960 kN at the end. It is important to note that the coordinates of the fixed bottom points were selected appropriately to achieve a pretension of 1950 kN. These values (1960 kN and 1950 kN) are quite similar. However, if I am not mistaken, the tension forces at the end should oscillate around the pretension value, rather than being observed at 1900 kN. It appears that I may be overlooking something in this analysis.
