A.3. Load Results File

The results of the mapping are to be written to a separate file. The format of this file is as follows:

A.3.1. Mapped Pressures

This provides the pressure loading on panels in the model. Loading is defined in terms of the real and imaginary components or amplitude and phase.

PRES
period heading body point magnitude phase real imaginary

Parameters:

PRESKeyword to denote start of hydrodynamic pressure values
periodWave period
headingWave direction (degrees)
bodyStructure number associated with this model, always set to 1
pointPoint number as defined in the structural finite element data (must be between 1 and npoints)
magnitudePressure amplitude
phaseAssociated phase angle (wrt to wave at CoG) (degrees)
realReal component of pressure
imaginaryImaginary component of pressure

A.3.2. Mapped Hydrostatic Pressures

This provides the hydrostatic pressure loading on panels in the model. Note that this loading is only given if the hydrodynamics input format is Aqwa and option STAT is specified in the AqwaID command.

PRST
body point static

Parameters:

PRSTKeyword to denote start of hydrostatic pressure values
bodyStructure number associated with this model, always set to 1
pointPoint number as defined in the structural finite element data (must be between 1 and npoints)
staticHydrostatic pressure value

A.3.3. Mapped Line Loads

These are the Morison element loads. The results will be in terms of real and imaginary loads at a point (either element centroid or integration point, or at a node). Loading is given as a force per unit length.

LINE
period heading body point realx imagx realy imagy realz imagz

Parameters:

LINEKeyword to denote start of Morison loading definition
periodWave period
headingWave direction (degrees)
bodyStructure number associated with this model, always set to 1
pointPoint number referencing the Morison element structural list
real[xyz]Real component of the element global force at the Morison element centroid
imag[xyz]Imaginary component of the element global force at the Morison element centroid

A.3.4. Acceleration Loads About CoG

Six terms will be computed, the three linear accelerations and three angular accelerations.

ACCE
period heading body real imaginary

Parameters:

ACCEKeyword to denote acceleration data
periodwave period
headingWave direction (degrees)
bodyStructure number associated with this model, always set to 1
realReal component of the accelerations at the CoG
imaginaryImaginary component of the accelerations at the CoG

Note:  The data line is defined six times for X, Y, Z, RX, RY, RZ accelerations
