Data format:
Three lines with the following parameters:
IGR INODE Kp Td Ti Lmin Lmax
DLLFileName
DLLProcName

Restrictions :
A mooring line must have been created.
Details :
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
filename.dat | File where the tensioning scenario is specified. Two columns: Step and tension. Specify negative tension (for example -1), to indicate steps where the retensioner is OFF. |
IGR | The group of elements for which the length has to be adjusted |
INODE | The node at which the tension is to be computed, preferably corresponding to one end of the mooring line. If 0, compute the average tension in the group of elements IGR |
T0 | The target tension, in N, dummy if specified in a file |
Kp | Gain of the PID controller, in m/N |
Td | Derivative of the PID controller |
Ti | Integral of the PID controller |
Lmin | Minimum allowable line length |
Lmax | Optional : Maximum allowable line length |
DLLFileName | DLL file name |
DLLProcName | DLL procedure name |
