Additional Loading Options

Overview

In addition to the standard loading described in preceding sections (e.g. wave, current etc.), Flexcom also provides a range of other useful options for applying loads to a model. The various options are discussed in the following sections:

•Point and Distributed Loads outlines point and distributed loading options.

•User-Defined Forces describes the user-subroutine load option facility, which provides for complete generality in terms of load application.

•Temperature Loading outlines the temperature loading model.

•Vessel and Harmonic Loads outlines these frequency-dependent load options.

Relevant Keywords

•*LOAD is used to define arbitrary loading.

•*TEMPERATURE is used to apply thermal loading.
