Flexcom > Data Inputs > $LIFEFREQUENCY

Purpose

To specify all of the Flexcom random sea analyses on which the LifeFrequency calculations are to be based, and to tabulate the percentage occurrences of the corresponding seastates.

Theory

Refer to Pre-run Analyses for further information on this feature.

Keyword Format

Blocks of two lines, defining the file name and the percentage occurrence.

FILE=File Name

PERCENT=Percentage Occurrence

This keyword is required for the Postprocessor with Stress Spectra mode, but is not relevant to Postprocessor with RAOs mode. File Name should include the entire path of the included file without extension. If the file name or any part of its path contains spaces then it should be enclosed in double quotation marks. Percentage Occurrence should naturally be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100.

Table Input

Flexcom Analysis:	The generic name of the Flexcom analysis for a particular fatigue seastate. A file extension is not required.
Percentage Occurrence:	The percentage occurrence of this seastate per annum.

Notes
