(1) The wave ramp is introduced to reduce the transient motion of the structure at the beginning of a time domain analysis. When this data record is defined, the wave ramp takes effect from t = 0.0 to t = t_w, during which a wave ramp factor f (0.0 < f < 1.0) is calculated and multiplied to the wave frequency forces.

The wave ramp factor f is calculated by

At t = 0, the wave ramp factor is 0.0 and at t = t_w, the factor is 1.0. If t_w is omitted in the WRMP data record, the program will default to t_w = highest period of all the wave components in the spectrum or, for an irregular wave group, the highest period of all the wave components in all the spectra.
