*DEPTH
Data format:
A single line with 2 parameter, as follows:
DEPTH DEPTHWAVE
Status:
Required if WAVE or WAVJON are selected (dynamics or frequency dynamic simulations). The second parameter is optional
Purpose:
To specify the water depth to be used to calculate wave kinematics.
Details :
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| DEPTH | Water depth at origin (positive value). The still water level is always at Z=0. |
| DEPTHWAVE | The wave loadings are not imposed below DEPTHWAVE (positive value). If not zero, this parameter will be used even if the 4th parameter of *NUMINT is defined |
Example:
*DEPTH
200.
