Swell & Local sea components

The Main Swell, Secondary Swell and Local Sea tabs define a list of individual waves that may be used to define combined environments from the Combination Matrix tab.

The Main Swell, Secondary Swell and Local Sea tabs have similar content format. Individual wave data may be either regular waves (based on Airy, Stokes or Dean's stream models) or irregular waves.

The Main Swell, Secondary Swell and Local Sea tabs include the following items:

  • Number of waves: The number of individual wave components must be set with the spin box located in the upper right corner of the tab. You may either use the up/down arrows to setup the number of waves, or input any value using your keyboard and then pressing the ENTER key. Pressing the ENTER key confirms the number of individual components to be included and generates the table with appropriate number of rows.

  • Insert new wave: Pressing this button inserts a new row in the table.

  • Remove selected wave: Pressing this button deletes the selected rows from the table.

  • Single wave heading: This option sets similar headings for all individual wave components defined in the data table. The heading column is removed from the table in this case.

  • Multiple wave headings: This option allows setting different headings for the individual wave components defined in the data table. The heading column is included in the data table in this case.

The contents of these main data table is similar to the existing Wave component. Refer to the Wave component for details.

Note

The content of the tables included in this data form allows selection of multiple-cells and copy/paste of data to/from Excel using the CTRL+C and CTRL+V keys. The whole content of any table may be selected by clicking any cell in the table and further pressing the CTRL+A keys.
