*DIOPTION
Data format:
One line with 17 parameters, as follows:
KCOUPL DXINC DRINC IOPT ID(1) ID(2) ID(3) ID(4) ID(5) ID(6) IECR(1) ICRE(2) IECR(3) IECR(4) IECR(5) IECR(6) IMOY
Status:
Optional.
Purpose:
To require the calculations of the FPF RAOs with the moorings/risers stiffness in the equilibrium position under mean load.
Restriction:
This keywords must be used with FPFDX where a hydrodynamic database is given. This keyword is recommended with LFOPTION or *WFOPTION.

Parameter | Description |
---|---|
KCOUPL | KCOUPL= 0 or 3: No specific option KCOUPL= 1: A stiffness matrix of the mooring is computed. It is written in the .lis file and used in the calculations if the mooring stiffness option is selected (see *LFOPTION or *WFOPTION KCOUPL= 2: The dynamic of the lines is not accounted for in the calculations |
DXINC | Incremental displacements (in meters) imposed around static equilibrium positions for mooring stiffness calculation (default = 1 m). |
DRINC | Incremental rotations (in degrees) imposed around static equilibrium positions for mooring stiffness calculation (default = 1 ) |
IOPT | IOPT=1: Incremental displacements range from 0 to DXINC and incremental displacements range from 0 to DRINC. IOPT=2: Incremental displacements range from -DXINC to DXINC and incremental displacements range from -DRINC to DRINC. |
ID(I) | ID(I) = 0 : (KCOUPL= 1) the ith degree of freedom of the FPF center of motion is set free during the calculations of the equilibrium position under the mean loads. ID(I) = 1 the ith degree of freedom of the FPF center of motion is kept blocked during the calculations of the equilibrium position under the mean loads. |
IECR(I) | Asks for the solver to write the environmental loads applied on floating vessels for the degree of freedom I in a text file. IECR(I) = 0: No file is written. IECR(I) = 1: Writing on the file named eff_i_kkk.txt (kkk is the number of the structure). - If LF motion, file parameters are: Time WaveEffort (2nd order) WindEffort CurrentEffort MooringEffort QuadraticEffort - If WF motion, file parameters are: Time WaveEffort (1st order) WindEffort CurrentEffort MemoryEffect QuadraticEffort WaveEffort(2nd order) |
IMOY | Average environmental forces are applied linearly on a floater in a quasi static analysis from no force at stpe=0 to the complete force at the last time step (default with IMOY = 0) If IMOY=1, the whole force is applied starting at step 0 |
