Migrate to Flexcom

While simulations may be performed directly within the Flexcom Wave module itself, experienced Flexcom users may prefer to use the specialised module for initial model construction only, and then switch to the main Flexcom environment as it provides greater modelling flexibility. Migrating is as easy as flicking a switch, you simply select the 'Open as Flexcom Project' from the Simulations menu. The wave energy simulator module produces a well-structured, heavily parameterised keyword file which can be subsequently customised to meet your own individual requirements.

The structural components of the model, such as the floater, PTO and mooring lines, are all constructed in standard fashion using established Flexcom modelling capabilities. Refer to Model Building for further information - this article outlines a typical series of steps to follow when building a model of a wave energy device.
