Future Developments
We are still finalising the the exact content of the next release of OrcaFlex. However, over the next 18-24 months we aim to include as many of the following features as possible:
- Pipe-in-pipe, piggybacks.
- Slug flow.
- Py and Tz curves for vertical risers.
- Restarts.
- Built-in hinge/articulation modelling element.
- Better splash zone modelling, slamming.
- Curved cylinder shape for J-tube pulls.
- Improve post-processing spreadsheet performance through multi-threading.
- Whole system modal analysis.
- Line payout, especially for modelling inertia and drag on winches.
Please note that the above list is not a definite commitment. Some features take longer (or occasionally shorter!) to develop than originally estimated.
