Its mode-superposition approach identifies likely excited modes and evaluates multi-mode non-lock-in and single-mode lock-in response.\n\nEngineers use SHEAR7 to calculate natural frequencies and mode shapes for cables, beams, risers, jumpers, and catenary systems, estimate structural response and drag amplification, and generate data for fatigue assessment. It supports spatially varying currents, user-defined lift and damping data, batch execution from ASCII input files, and coupling through offshore analysis tools including OrcaFlex and Flexcom.\n\nSHEAR7 is distributed by AMOG Consulting, Inc. as a Windows desktop command-line application.
