We are very pleased to announce the 2012 major release of OrcaFlex, version 9.6. As always it takes time to produce and despatch installation CDs but clients with up-to-date MUS contracts can expect to receive the software in the first half of November. In fact we are thinking of switching to electronic distribution for future releases, which would mean that you would get the upgrade sooner after release.
The major enhancements introduced in 9.6 are as follows:
- 64 bit OrcaFlex
- New Line Contact model
- Full QTFs for wave drift
- Sum-frequency QTF loads
- Shear7 modes file generation for lines with torsion, Shear7 version 4.7
- P-y model improvements
- User defined results for external functions
