*SYNTHOPT

Data format:

One single line with up to five values

IOPT Tstart Tend Twindow (%Kdamp)

Status :

Mandatory when the Dyneema 3T rope model is used

Purpose :

To define the time window to be used to split the simulation into sequences

Restriction :

The same split is applied for all dyneema lines define din the model

Details :

Parameter	Description
IOPT	= 1: dyneema model
Tstart	Starting time for dynamic stiffness update; that means that as long as T < Tstart, the static stiffness
Tend	Ending time for dynamic update; that means that after Tend, the dynamic stiffness is kept unchanged and corresponds to the last computed value
Twindow	Time window over which statistics are evaluated to update the dynamic stiffness
%Kdamp	(optional) percentage of damping due to the stiffness (in %). A default value has been defined in accordinace with DSM; It is not recommended to change this parameter
