This area is then divided up to form a database of cable end positions and corresponding tensions which is used in the analysis. It is recommended that the full size of this grid is used, of 600 points, which is formed by the multiplication of Number of Vertical Partitions and Number of X Coordinates.&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#8221;MsoNormal&#8221; style=&#8221;mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;&#8221;&gt;&lt;span style=&#8221;font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#8216;Times New Roman&#8217;; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;&#8221;&gt;If you have known the maximum tension at the fairlead of the nonlinear catenary mooring for the structure under the analysed environment conditions, you can directly input it as the maximum expected tension.
