OrcaFlex Examples - C Moorings

C05 Single Point Mooring.zip (9.8 MB) – Description PDF (269 KB)

An OrcaFlex default vessel is moored using three legs and a short chafe chain from the connecting node. This system is often used as a temporary mooring. In OrcaFlex we aim to inspect the load on the moorings and also quantify the mooring offset for this vessel in this sea state. The simulation uses irregular waves acting for a duration of 1 hour.

C06 CALM Buoy.zip (8.5 MB) – Description PDF (201 KB)

A CALM buoy is moored by six equally spaced mooring lines. A shuttle tanker is moored to the buoy by a hawser, with fluid transfer through a floating hose. This is a coupled analysis example. The example also discusses the Spar Buoy Short Wave Issue.

C07 Metocean Buoy in Deep Water.zip (3.1 MB) – Description PDF (191 KB)

The example shows a metocean buoy moored in deep water. It is held in place by a long mooring line anchored at the seabed. A regular wave train has been applied.

C08 Fish Farm.zip (30.9 MB) – Description PDF (259 KB)

Two fish farm cages are modelled. They are connected to each other via moorings to give a 2 cell structure.
