Importing hydrodynamic data: MOSES |
OrcaFlex can import MOSES data in a straightforward way, with the following caveats:
See this example for MOSES displacement RAOs, and this one for MOSES wave load RAOs. Remember that RAO and phase origins are not imported from text files – you should take particular care with MOSES output to set these correctly, since in this case the RAO origin and phase origin may differ.
Newman QTFs in all six degrees of freedom are included in this example of MOSES output.
Added mass and damping may be output in two forms by MOSES:
MOSES will optionally output the full $6{\times}6$ matrices to a .ppo file, and this is the only format which is supported by OrcaFlex import. MOSES presents these matrices scaled by mass. Since OrcaFlex requires non-normalized data, the import process must account for this scaling factor. To do so, note that towards the beginning of this example is a section of the form
OrcaFlex Scaling Factor Start 1381.8 OrcaFlex Scaling Factor End
The number 1381.8 in this case is the mass of the vessel, as specified in the standard MOSES output file. OrcaFlex will scale all the imported data by this value.
Warning: | You must ensure that your OrcaFlex model units are the same as the units of your MOSES added mass and damping data, including the unit of mass for the scaling factor, before importing the data. |
The standard MOSES output file may also contain tables of the diagonal elements (surge-surge, sway-sway, yaw-yaw etc terms only) of the added mass and damping matrices. OrcaFlex cannot however import these data directly, since the rotational components are presented as radii of gyration. If you wish to import these data, you will need first to convert the rotational values from radii of gyration to added inertia and rotational damping, according to the formulation used by MOSES.
