20.3. The POS* Data Record - Starting Positions

* denotes structure number (see (1) below)

See Starting Conditions Definition - STRT (Data Category 15) for a discussion of the interaction between the RDEP option and the POS* and REA* data records.

(1) The data record keyword indicates the corresponding structure number for the positions in columns 21-80; for example, enter POS1 for Structure 1, POS2 for Structure 2, .... PO10 for Structure 10.

(2)-(3) This is to indicate which spectrum and mooring configuration the structure position is defined for, only needed for multiple spectra/mooring configuration cases.

(4)-(9) This is the position of the structure indicated by the data record keyword (1) at the start of the analysis. The position is defined by three translations and three successive rotations. Angles are in degrees.
