Flexcom has two time stepping algorithms, Fixed and Variable. Whether you opt for a fixed or variable time step, it is important to choose a Time-Step which picks up necessary detail in excitation and response. Selection of an appropriate Simulation Length depends on whether you are running a regular wave or random sea dynamic analysis. Load Ramping is provided to allow control over the build-up of dynamic loads and displacements in an analysis with waves and/or vessel motions.
