How is the mooring line calculated using a Taut?

Mooring lines are typically made of synthetic rope and have minimal contact with the seabed, relying on rope elasticity for their compliance, requiring anchors that can withstand both vertical and horizontal loads. In this analysis, we choose a 45° angle between the mooring line and the seabed to represent a minimal anchor spacing option for semisubmersible and spar platform types. Youwind calculates the Taut mooring line length with the bathymetry based on the assumption of 45° angle, as line length= √2* depth. For example, if the bathymetry is 100m the length of one line is 141m, and the total length of all the lines is 565m (4 units).
