The Aqwa Graphical Supervisor (AGS) is a Graphical User Interface which is both a pre- and post-processor to the Aqwa suite of programs. This help document describes the many features of the AGS.
After installation the Aqwa programs appear on the Start Menu under Ansys 2024 R2. AqwaGS starts the Aqwa Graphical Supervisor. The program can be run from here or you can create an icon on the desktop.
To exit the AGS choose > from the main toolbar, or click the cross in the top right corner.
Information for Workbench Users
This help document refers to the original Aqwa solver modules, which are described in detail through the Aqwa Reference Manual. These modules correspond to the Analysis Systems and Analysis Types available through the Workbench interface as follows:
Aqwa-Line is the frequency domain radiation/diffraction solver used in a Hydrodynamic Diffraction Analysis
Aqwa-Librium is the frequency domain solver used to calculate equilibrium positions and static/dynamic stability modes in a Hydrodynamic Response Stability Analysis
Aqwa-Fer is the frequency domain solver used for linearized calculations in a Hydrodynamic Response Frequency Statistical Analysis
Aqwa-Drift is the time domain solver performing transient calculations including slow drift effects in a Hydrodynamic Response Time Domain Analysis with Analysis Type of ‘Irregular Wave Response with Slow Drift’ or ‘Slow Drift Only’
Aqwa-Naut is the time domain solver performing transient calculations including nonlinear estimations of incident and hydrostatic pressures in a Hydrodynamic Response Time Domain Analysis with Analysis Type of ‘Irregular Wave Response’ or ‘Regular Wave Response’
