Purpose

To specify the value of Molin’s yaw coefficient for a moored vessel, and also to specify the fractions of Molin’s Moment and Munk’s Moment that are applied to the moored vessel.

Theory

Refer to Current Loads for further information on this feature.

Keyword Format

One line defining the moment coefficients:

Molin’s Coefficient, Molin’s Yaw Moment Coefficient, Munk’s Moment Coefficient

The keyword is only relevant to mooring analyses.

Table Input

Input:	Description
Molin’s Coefficient:	Molin’s yaw coefficient.
Molin’s Yaw Moment Factor:	A number between 0 and 1 specifying the fraction of the Molin’s yaw Moment which is added to the current loads on the vessel. The default is 0.
Munk’s Moment Factor:	A number between 0 and 1 specifying the fraction of the Munk’s Moment which is subtracted from the current loads on the vessel. The default is 0.
