J03 - Summary Postprocessing Collation |

This example illustrates how to quickly simulate a large load case matrix using Flexcom's parameter variation feature. It also demonstrates the power and versatility of the summary collation feature, which allows you to quickly assemble a dashboard of pertinent information from the entire load case.
A flexible riser in steep wave configuration is used as a backdrop for this example. The model itself is relatively straightforward, for reasons of simplicity and run-time efficiency, as the real focus of this example is on the Keyword Parameterisation and Summary Postprocessing Collation features.
The overall layout of this example is as follows:
•Riser System provides a brief overview of the flexible riser system.
•Load Case Simulation describes how parameters and variations are used to quickly create all the keyword files necessary to simulate the entire load case matrix.
•Postprocessing outlines how the summary output data is requested from the individual simulations, and how each individual simulation within the load case matrix is assigned key parameters for identification purposes.
•Collation illustrates how to identify folders on the hard drive for inclusion in the collation process, and how to request the generation of 3D plots.
•Spreadsheet Output presents a sample list of collated parameters along with their extreme values.
•3D Plots graphically presents the variation of some sample outputs against the key driving parameters of wave period and wave heading.
