*DRAFT, FILE=$path/filename.list, NAME=structure_name

Data format:

One line with two parameters, as follows:

DRAREF DRACT

Status:

Optional.

Purpose:

This keyword allows to modify the draft of a floating support, by adapting the vertical position of the floater and interpolating its hydrodynamic characteristics.

Restrictions:

A *FPFDX keyword must have been defined previously, with the same name.

Details :

Parameter	Description
DRAREF	The reference draft in meters.
DRACT	The desired draft for the calculation.
Fiilename.list	The file filename.list (mandatory .list extension) contains a list of drafts with the corresponding path to the hydrodynamic database file. See the example below for details.

Note

The reference draft DRAREF must be included in the list of drafts detailed in the .list file.

Example : Next is an example of filename.list contents.

2.5 C:\DeepLines\Draft\Buoy1.HDB
6.5 C:\DeepLines\Draft\Buoy2.HDB
10.5 C:\DeepLines\Draft\Buoy1.HDB

Drafts must all be positive and sorted in increasing order. All the database files must have the same structure (type of contents). The reference draft must be included in the list of drafts, which means in this case that DRAREF can be either 2.5, 6.5 or 10.5.

DeepLines solver will check that the .list file is defined and all the .HDB files.
