Problem:
Will "Inclined" wind direction set to off global axis take care of user required eccentric, torsional, or pitched loading of FPSO or offshore platforms?
Solution:
Inclined wind will typically not give a eccentric loading since wind method (force or projected area) methods are applied uniformly at center of pipe An offset weight loading will give eccentric type loading or some offset force or moment loading.
