Each program has more than one type of possible analysis. These options are used on the JOB data record to indicate which type is required. If no option is input then the default analysis type will be used. These defaults and the optional analysis types are listed below. See also the JOB data record (The JOB Data Record).

Aqwa-Drift Default - Drift frequency motions only

Option 1 - WFRQ - Drift frequency and wave frequency motions

Aqwa-Fer Default - Drift frequency and wave frequency motions

Option 1 - DRFT - Drift frequency motions only

Option 2 - WFRQ - Wave frequency motions only

Aqwa-Line Default - Radiation/Diffraction analysis

Option 1 - FIXD - All structures fixed

Aqwa-Librium Default - Static and dynamic stability

Option 1 - STAT - Static stability only

Option 2 - DYNA - Dynamic stability only

Aqwa-Naut Default - Time history regular wave response

Option 1 - IRRE - Time history analysis in irregular waves. This applies to both diffracting structures (when convolution is used) and Morison structures. Note that in Aqwa-Naut, wave drift force is not included in either regular or irregular waves.
