*MSFPFDX,FILE=$PATH\FILE.HDB

Data format:

A minimum of three lines and as many lines as required to define the substructures:

IREF XR YR ZR YAW NS IMOR IMOM IKFNL IW1 IW2 COEFR IWRI
NAME_STRUC1, file=$PATH\MESH_FILE1.DAT <br> INOD1_STRUC1 INOD2_STRUC1 INODi_STRUC1 <br> ... <br> NAME_STRUC1n, file=$PATH\MESH_FILEn.DAT
INOD1_STRUCn INOD2_STRUCn INODi_STRUCn

Purpose :

To define a floater by substructure, each substructure being composed of a list of nodes, a hydrodynamic mesh and hydrodynamic data coming form potential flow calculations.

Restriction :

All nodes must have been previoulsy defined. All mesh files as well as the hydrodynamic databse with substructures must have been previoulsy defined.

Details :

Parameter	Description
IREF	The reference node of the floater (all data in HDB are provided with respect to that node)
XR	X-Initial position of the Floater in the global frame
YR	Y-Initial position of the Floater in the global frame
ZR	Z-Initial position of the Floater in the global frame
YAW	Initial Yaw of the floater in the global frame
NS	Number of substructures (2*NS lines are required in addition to the first line to define the keyword)
IMOR	IMOR = 0
IMOM	IMOM = 0 : Buoyancy moments are applied IMOM = 1 : Diffraction and buoyancy Moments are applied IMOM = 2 : Full moment is applied
IKFNL	IKFNL = 0 : FK forces are considered linear, IKFNL = 1 : FK Force are nonlinear if HDB is compatible
IW1	IW1 = 0
IW2	IW2 = 0
COEFR	Relaxation coefficient on the added mass. Comprised between 0 and 1. 0 is defualt value, no relaxation
IWRI	IWRI = 0 : No speciific data written by the solver IWRI = 1 : "Dyn_Floater.dat" file written
NAME_STRUC1, file=$PATH\MESH_FILE1.DAT	Name of substructure 1 and associated mesh file. The substructure should also be present by its name in the HDB file
INOD1_STRUC1	First Node of structure 1
INOD2_STRUC1	Second Node of structure 1
...	Structure 1 nodes
INOD2_STRUC1	Last Node of structure 1
NAME_STRUC2, file=$PATH\MESH_FILE2.DAT	Name of substructure 2 and associated mesh file. The substructure should also be present by its name in the HDB file
INOD1_STRUC2	First Node of structure 2
...	Structure 2 nodes
