This report presents a numerical framework for analyzing the statics and dynamics of cable strctures commonly encountered in oceanographic engineering practice. The numerical program, WHOI Cable, features a nonlinear solver that includes the effects of geometric and material nonlinearties, bending stiffness for seamless modeling of slack cables, and a model for the interaction of cable segments with the seafoor. The program solves both surface and subsurface single-point mooring problems, systems with both ends anchored on the bottom, and towing and drifter problems. Forcing includes waves, current, ship speed, and pay-out of cable. The programs that make-up WHOI Cable run under Unix, DOS, and Windows. There is a familiar Windows-style interface available for Windows 95 and Windows NT platforms. In the report, the mathematical and numerical framework for WHOI Cable is described, followed by detailed instructions for formulating problem input files and running the codes. Examples are included in an appendix to highlight the range of problems that WHOI Cable can solve.
