Disclosed are methods, systems and computer readable storage media which facilitate the design of cables and pipes, including umbilicals, flexible pipes, optical cables, power cables, composite pipes, bundled pipes and combinations thereof. In one aspect, a computer implemented method includes, in response to input from a user in a plug-in interface in a graphical user interface within a computer-assisted design program, in a processor, executing instructions for receiving design information from a computer-assisted design program as well as receiving loading and deformation information from a global analysis software package for a cable or pipe having multiple components. A model is created using the design, loading and deformation information. The model is readable by a cable or pipe analysis software package. Thus the user is not required to manually generate the model of the cable or pipe readable by the cable or pipe analysis software package to be input into the cable or pipe analysis software package. |
