Flexcom Wave interfaces directly with ExceedenceFinance, a third-party software package which contains databases of metocean data for various geographical locations around the world. Provided you have a license for this software, you can quickly download wave resource information for your chosen location, and automatically import this data into Flexcom Wave.

Two methods of data transfer between the software products are provided.
•File Transfer. This involves a software user working in the ExceedenceFinance environment, explicitly exporting data to an external file, then switching over to Flexcom Wave and manually requesting the retrieval of this data using an import command.
•Cloud Transfer. This approach allows a Flexcom Wave user to request and obtain the relevant information directly from within the engineering environment, without having to actually open the Exceedence software.
Both options may be invoked from the File menu within Flexcom Wave.
