Flexcom provides a variety of postprocessing options, and the primary channels are as follows.
•Database Postprocessing generally represents the most comprehensive postprocessing resource. It is capable of generating Graphical Output, Tabular Output and Spreadsheet Output.
•Summary Postprocessing allows you to extract pertinent results (e.g. maximum/minimum values) from time domain analyses in succinct tabular format in the form of a Summary Output File. Although summary output is predominately used to create succinct tabular output, it is also capable of generating Graphical Output in the form of plot files.
•Summary Postprocessing Collation allows you to collate the summary postprocessing results across a range of different time domain analyses into a single Summary Collation Spreadsheet. Enhanced data visualisation is also provided by the ability to produce 3-dimensional Summary Collation Plots.
•Custom Postprocessing provides additional options for advanced users, facilitating the development of specialised postprocessing tools tailored to meet specific requirements. This section covers areas such as the Excel Add-In, Database Access Routines, and VBA code.
The second and third options, in particular, facilitate the development of specialised postprocessing tools tailored to meet the specific requirements of individual customers.
This section contains information on the following topics.
•Database Storage Files describes the options for storing output produced by a Flexcom analysis run for subsequent postprocessing.
•Database Postprocessing describes the database postprocessing facility, which generally represents the most comprehensive postprocessing resource.
•Summary Postprocessing describes the summary postprocessing facility, which allows you to extract pertinent results (e.g. maximum/minimum values) from time domain analyses in succinct tabular format.
•Summary Postprocessing Collation describes the summary collation postprocessing module, which allows you to collate the summary postprocessing results across a range of different time domain analyses.
•Timetrace describes the timetrace postprocessing facility, which is mainly used in the area of time domain fatigue analysis.
•Advanced Topics discusses advanced postprocessing options such as angles output, extreme values, spectra and ensembles, and the computation of RAOs.
