The various program options for modelling current loading are discussed in the following sections:
•Overview presents an overview of the range of current specification options available in Flexcom.
•User-Defined Currents discusses the user-subroutine option which facilitates the definition of time varying currents.
•Effect of Wave on Current discusses the approaches for modelling the variation in current profile with variation in water depth due to waves.
•VIV Drag describes a facility whereby vortex-induced vibration (VIV) drag coefficient amplification factors may be read from the results of a Shear7 analysis.
•*CURRENT is used to specify current loading.
