The Simulations folder allows you to perform numerical simulations and examine analysis results. In the Simulation Parameters tab you nominate a wave energy converter and choose the environmental conditions to which it is subjected. You may then proceed to Running Simulations. Following successful completion of the numerical simulations, you may examine important Simulation Results. Flexcom Wave automatically collates all pertinent information into 3D Plots and a summary spreadsheet for you to examine at your convenience. For example, you can view electric power for your wave energy converter as a function of both Hs and Tz/Tp/Te in a 3-dimensional space. It also possible to gain further insight by examining results from individual seastates such as time histories of floating body motions and mooring fairlead tensions. Crucially you can also Export to Exceedence, sending the power matrix computed by Flexcom's detailed engineering model back into ExceedenceFinance, and perform financial appraisals based on realistic power data for a given wave energy converter and ambient environment.
