I1 IHY IMEM IDDL1 IDDL2 IDDL3 IDDL4 IDDL5 IDDL6 ALPHA IEFF2 NDTMEMORY IKM IQTF IDH IPC IPW |
---|
Status :
Optional
Purpose :
To define the parameters of a the dynamic analysis taking into account the coupling between the floater and the lines with wave loads
Restriction :
The STRUCTURE_NAME must have been previously analysed with DIODORE
Details :
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
DIODORE_STRUCTURE_NAME | DIODORE_STRUCTURE_NAME : name of one of the mecanical structure in the hydrodynamic analysis with DIODORE : 8 characters maximum without blank in the name |
I1 | I1=1 : the wave loads are taken into account in a linear way I1=0 : the wave loads are taken into account in a non linear way (features not valid in V2R0) |
IHY | IHY= 0 : constant non linear hydrostatic matrix (option only) IHY= 1 : non-linear hydrostatic matrix taken into account (features not valid in V2R0) |
IMEM | IMEM= 0 : no memory effect : constant wave damping matrix. IMEM= 1 : memory effect with convolution procedure (features not valid in V2R0) |
IDDL(1) | IDDL(1)= 0 : the waves loads is calculated for the surge degree of freedom of the floater IDDL(1)= 1 : the wave loads is not taken into account for the surge degree of freedom of the floater |
IDDL(2) | IDDL(2)= 0 : the waves loads is calculated for the sway degree of freedom of the floater IDDL(2)= 1 : the wave loads is not taken into account for the sway degree of freedom of the floater |
IDDL(3) | IDDL(3)= 0 : the waves loads is calculated for the heave degree of freedom of the floater IDDL(3)= 1 :the wave loads is not taken into account for the heave degree of freedom of the floater |
IDDL(4) | IDDL(4)= 0 : the waves loads is calculated for the roll degree of freedom of the floater IDDL(4)= 1 : the wave loads is not taken into account for the roll degree of freedom of the floater |
IDDL(5) | IDDL(5)= 0 : the waves loads is calculated for the pitch degree of freedom of the floater IDDL(5)= 1 : the wave loads is not taken into account for the pitch degree of freedom of the floater |
IDDL(6) | IDDL(6)= 0 : the waves loads is calculated for the yaw degree of freedom of the floater IDDL(6)= 1 : the wave loads is not taken into account for the yaw degree of freedom of the floater |
ALPHA | ALPHA (Default = 1). This parameter is an option to determine the floater's position to be used for wave calculation: ALPHA=1 : The reference position for wave calculation is the floater's low frequency motion, the wave frequency being filtered ALPHA=0 : The reference position for wave calculation is instantaneous floater's position |
IEFF2 | IEFF2= 1 : The second order wave loads due to wave kinematics are taken into account. Otherwise (default) they are not taken into account. |
NDTMEMORY | NDTMEMORY : At time t, the memory effect is integrated from to to t with to = MDTMEMORYdti, dti is the initial time step in DYNAMIC. |
IKM | IKM = 0 if mooring line stiffness matrices not taken into account, 1 otherwise |
IQTF | IQTF = 0 for Newman theory; 1 for full QTF |
IDH | IDH = 0 if damping matrices in HDB ignored, 1 if taken into account, 2 if only WF matrices used |
IPC | IPC = 0 if current polar coefficients in HDB ignored, 1 if taken into account |
IPW | IPW = 0 if wind polar coefficients in HDB ignored, 1 if taken into account |
Note
In this case the floating body needed hydrodynamic values are extracted from the DIODORE data base.
