*HYDROCP

Data format:

An arbitrary number of lines with two values each

NF1 NF2

Status : Optional

Purpose : Perform simulation with hydrodynamic coupling between two floaters

Details :

Parameter Description
NF1 Reference node of the first *FPFDX
NF2 Reference node of the second *FPFDX

Note

  1. Several lines can be entered if multiple coupling is requested.

  2. if NF1 is coupled to NF2, DeepLines automatically assumed that NF2 is coupled to NF1. Now in the floater option, one of the floater can be in imposed motion RAOs and in that case, the coupling information on that floater is not used.

  3. When this option is defined, there are some consistency checks on the hydrodynamic database to make sure the data are available. For hydrodynamic coupling, all the floaters should be in the same database.
