Floater Motion

The Floater Motion tab summarizes the relationship between each Floater and the floater motion attributes that are to be considered for the analysis.

The Floater Motion tab in the Calculation Parameters dialogue therefore provides a means to assign Floater Motion types to Floater components.

The tab is occupied by a table featuring the following columns:

  • Floater name: This column lists all Floater components that are included in the analysis. The content of this columns cannot be changed.
  • Floater motion: This columns lists the names of the Floater Motion types data that are assigned to the Floaters. "Default" means that the default Floater Motion type which is set in the Floater data form will be used. You can assign any other Floater Motion type among the existing types by selecting an alternate item in the cell.

Note

'Default' entered in a cell in the table indicates that the property assigned within the floater will be used. Any other entry reflects the actual motion attribute set for that floater. The table is 'live' - i.e. you can change the settings (assuming attributes exist) for any floater.

This table can be imported/exported to/from Excel.
