Tension Leg Platform is one kind of compliant structure using a moored tendon fixed to the sea bottom, which is suitable for deep water. The characteristic of TLP is different from the fixed jacket type, where the TLP has a flexible response to external forces. The objective of the present study is to analyze TLP’s behavior in terms of stress and deflection. The calculation is done using the finite element method through SACS software. The result obtained by the finite element method is presented in terms of stress and deflection.
