*WAMIT

Purpose

To specify that Flexcom is to read floating body data from WAMIT output.

Theory

Refer to WAMIT Interface for further information on this feature. Note that the WAMIT Interface is a legacy feature which has effectively been superseded by the newer Hydrodynamic Data Importer. This allows allows you to automatically import characteristic data relating to a Floating Body from a range of well-known hydrodynamic simulation packages.

Keyword Format

A block of data consisting of TYPE=line to specify whether the data type is single or coupled. This is followed by a single floating body name, or the names of the coupled floating bodies, as appropriate. This is followed by a line to specify the method of RAO calculation, which in turn followed by a line to specify the WAMIT output file name.

Block defining single floating body with radiation RAO:

TYPE=SINGLE

FLOATING BODY=Floating Body Name

RAO=RADIATION/DIFFRACTION

FILE=Filename.wmt

Block defining coupled floating bodies:

TYPE=COUPLED

FLOATING BODY 1=Floating Body Name 

FLOATING BODY 2=Floating Body Name

RAO=RADIATION/DIFFRACTION

FILE=Filename.wmt

 

Table Input

Body - WAMIT Import – Single

Body - WAMIT Import – Couple
