Guyed Flare Design -Y direction Force
(OP)
Can anyone suggest the reason for a -Y direction force witnessed in case of a Guyed Flare design?

This reaction can be broken down in to 2 components, one acting down on the vessel and one horizontal (in the direction of the wire attachment).

Don't understand your answer?
Where is the vessel in this problem?
We are talking about a Flare Tip which is sitting on a vertical structure which is supported / tied back (guyed) to grade with wires.
RE: Guyed Flare Design -Y direction Force
Is the Flare & Flare Tip on what location: FPSO, LNG FPSO, TOPSIDE PLATFORM?

Don't ask me.
BTW - I have not to date seen a guyed flare on an FPSO, LNG FPSO, TOPSIDE PLATFORM
RE: Guyed Flare Design -Y direction Force
The problem is complex with a high degree of indeterminacy because of the elastic nature of the vessel components and guys. Mandeep pointed out one of the problems in that tension of the non-redundant guy imposes a vertical compressive force on the vessel.
However, I have seen this type of system analysed using piping analysis software. Several programmes are commercially available which (with a little creativity) can do this
