IAM LOOKING FOR HOW TO MODELING MOORING LINE WHICH IS DIFFERENT SEGMENT??
like fairlead is poly line end middle is hmpe line and end part is poly line
if anyone know about it let me knows
Hi Insuk,
If you assign the same name to different section properties (classes), that becomes a segmented line as Georgina said to your other post here. The first class is the line connected to a fairlead and the class defined last becomes the property of the line that is connected to the seabed. Let us know if you need more assistance.
Best regards,

Dear bitna,
I have model my line with 3 segment, chain - wirerope - chain. The line is adjusted with pretension 65mt using "-l_tension 65"..how do i check the change total length value?
1.) this show the initial length before adjusted to pretension 65mt
2.) This only report the length of first segment.
Appreciate if you can explain how to get the value for total line length of each segment. Thanks
Hi Naim,
When you apply pre-tension, MOSES will only change the length of the first segment (that is connected to the fairlead end). Therefore, let's say you have modeled the segment lengths in the class definition as follows: the first segment is 60m, the second segment is 100m, and the third segment is 50m. Now, let's say you apply a pre-tension of 20 MT. MOSES will change the length of the first segment from 60 to some number (let us say 52m) such that the pre-tension in the line is equal to 20 MT. Therefore, all you need is the changed length of the first segment, which MOSES provides as shown in your output. For the total length, you can simply add this value to the remaining segment lengths (52+100+50= 202m in my example). I hope this is clear. Let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks,

Dear Rahul, thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated
