1. Aqwa Solver Modules

The following new features provide extended capabilities in the Aqwa solver modules:

  • Disturbed wave elevation in Aqwa-Naut. The time histories of the disturbed wave (including incident and diffraction wave components) elevation at the specified nodes can be calculated and output into the .plt file for further post-processing. The data can be accessed by Aqwa Graphic Supervisor (AGS) and AqwaReader.

  • Looped redundant constraints. Looped redundant constraints are now permitted. The redundant constraint equations are automatically detected and removed; the statically indeterminate reaction forces/moments will be distributed.

  • Seabed mud layer depth. The mud layer depth of the dynamic cables' seabed can now be defined. The default value remains as 2 meters.

  • Morison element coefficients. Non-negative (including zero) added mass and drag coefficients are now accessible for tube, slender tube, disc, dynamic cable, and tether features. The longitudinal drag coefficients along tube and slender tube can also be defined.

  • Progress bar for large angle stability in Aqwa-Line. A progress bar is now available to display the progressive information during a free trim large angle stability analysis in Aqwa-Line.
