Description |
Reference Frequency: |
The reference frequency to be used in determining the added mass of the floating body. Refer to floating body Hydrodynamic Theory for further information on the convolution integral technique employed by Flexcom to model frequency dependent added mass and radiation damping terms in a time domain simulation. |
Added Mass Coefficients: |
The name of the external data file which contains the added mass data. Refer to Added Mass Coefficients for further information on the file format. |
Radiation Damping Coefficients: |
The name of the external data file which contains the radiation damping data. Refer to Radiation Damping Coefficients for further information on the file format. |
Input: |
Description |
Force RAOs: |
The name of the external data file which contains the force RAO data. Refer to Force RAOs for further information on the file format. |
QTF Coefficients: |
The name of the external data file which contains the QTF data. Refer to QTF Coefficients for further information on the file format. |
(a)The Hydrodynamic Data Importer is a very helpful utility program which allows you to automatically import characteristic data relating to a Floating Body from a range of well known hydrodynamic simulation packages into Flexcom.
