D01 - Moored Vessel |
|
This example describes the analysis of a moored vessel, and demonstrates the use of Flexcom in analysing mooring systems, with particular regard to determining vessel second order motions due to drift forces, wind and current. The overall layout of this example is as follows:
•Introduction gives an overview of the moored vessel analysis, and notes some of the more important features of Flexcom which are relevant to the analysis.
•Model Summary describes the model in more detail.
•Analyses briefly describes the various analyses performed, discussing the various environmental and loading conditions to which the vessel and mooring system is subjected.
•Results presents pertinent results from the various analyses performed and discusses their significance.
