11.8.4. The LACS Data Record – Large Angle Stability Case

The large angle stability calculation in Aqwa is case-based. This data record defines a large angle stability calculation case which includes the information of a rotation axis direction and a rotation angle group.

(1) is the sequence index of the rotation axis direction. The sequence index of the rotation axis direction is based on the LAAX data record. The sequence indices start from 1 and sequentially increases by 1 for the rotation axis direction sequence from the start direction to the end direction (defined in (1)-(3) of the LAAX data record).

(2) is the rotation angle group index which is defined in (1) of the LARG data record.


Note:  For each structure, the total number of LACS data records must not exceed the total number of rotation axis directions.
