Description: Cables can be modeled with a higher degree of accuracy in Cadence Marine. This new module, called Catway, uses a catenary approach for modeling the lines with a quasi-static determination of the tension forces exerted on attached bodies. It also raises the bar of traditional quasi-static modeling by allowing fully three-dimensional set-ups for complex computations involving mooring systems for vessels and floating offshore structures. 

The Catway module can be used for a variety of applications, including ship towing another ship or a fish, buoy, etc., mooring lines for ships attached to the ground or to the dock, and cranes winch for objects delivery, offshore floating platform.
