General:
You may consider only the head sea situation with wind
wind, current
current, and waves all
coming from the same direction (say, along the negative x-direction).
100-year survival environment:
Wind speed 40 m/s
Current 1.5 m/s
Wave JONSWAP spectrum with H1/3 =12
12 m
m, Tp =14

consistent with your other parts of design)
You may assume 10% ~ 20% critical damping for slowly-varying response of the
FPSO (the

des eff
ffectts from mooriing dampiing, viiscous dampiing on
the hull due to current and wind, and wave drift damping from nonlinear effect)
You need to examine the maximum tension for one cable onlyy (which is the most
dangerous one) for both intact and damaged cases
(a) Under the head sea condition, (i) determine steady wind, current, and wave
drift loads on the FPSO; (ii) determine slowly-varying wave loads on the
FPSO;;and (iii))determine wave-fre quencyy motions of the FPSO
(i) Steady loads: estimate ship surface area on wind and current, use simple
empirical formula to compute the steady wind and current loads. Use the
formula to compute steady wave force :

Note that:
You could change the length and property of each line segment if you prefer.

In your analysis, you can align one group of line in the surge direction, and
and
compute the maximum tension of a cable in this group.
