Computation of RAOs |
|
The Flexcom time domain postprocessing facilities facilitate generation of RAO amplitudes and phases for selected output parameters. Specifically, it is possible to obtain RAOs for nodal motions, element forces and stresses, and floating body motions. The procedure followed by the software for the computation of RAOs depends on whether the relevant analysis involved regular or irregular wave loading. The computational procedure for each of these cases is described in the following sections.
•*RAO is used to request the creation of RAO plots.
