DNV Recommended Practice DNV-RP-F105

The FatFree software module is for engineering analysis of free spanning pipelines according to the DNV Recommended Practice DNV-RP-F105.

With FatFree software you get

• Software for design, assessment and re-assessment of submarine pipeline spans
• VBA based program (Visual Basic for Applications) 
• Complies fully with DNV-RP-F105
• Rational criteria and guidance on fatigue design methods for free spans subject to environmental loading

Key benefits of FatFree software module

• Calculates minimum required wall thickness for the given conditions, such as varying depth
• Allows you to save and retrieve several sets of input data (cases) within one file
• User-friendly Excel spreadsheet interface
• Calculates fatigue life due to inline and cross-flow vortex induced vibrations and direct wave loading
• Supports safe engineering analysis for maximum allowable free span
• Improves decision-making on correction or intervention of a span
• Saves costs on unnecessary free span corrections
• Standards based on modern limit state principles
