owr file you have selected, as illustrated in the following figure: The requested data page of the import vessel data form allows you to choose between the methods that are available in the.
Choice of calculation methodsįor some types of data (load RAOs, Newman QTFs, full QTFs), OrcaWave may offer results from various different calculation methods.
For example, the import of the mesh drawing, symmetry and vessel type length (classed as part of the structure data on the import form) are exclusive to OrcaWave files. AQWA, WAMIT) however, there are some aspects that are particular to OrcaWave. This process is very similar to how hydrodynamic data is imported from other sources (e.g. owr file can be imported into a model's preexisting vessel types. Importing an OrcaWave file into an existing modelĭata from an. which load RAOs to import if both Haskind and diffraction load RAOs are present – see below) will be resolved according to the preferences in the OrcaWave model. All available data will be imported during this process and any decisions (e.g. The standard import process is then carried out automatically to populate the hydrodynamic data for the newly created vessel types. The vessels are placed in the coordinate system defined in the OrcaWave file (with the global origins of the OrcaWave and OrcaFlex coordinate systems assumed to be coincident). The vessel initial positions and orientations.The centre of gravity for each vessel type and draught.If the OrcaWave analysis used a water depth of Infinity – not permitted in OrcaFlex – then this data will not be imported and a warning will be raised. The water depth, assuming that this takes a finite value.owr file in OrcaFlex also sets the following data from the corresponding information in the OrcaWave model: owr file, it detects which bodies are in the OrcaWave model and creates appropriate vessels and vessel types to represent these bodies. owr file directly in OrcaFlex via the file menu. This is in addition to being imported into existing vessel type objects in the same way that other hydrodynamic data formats are imported. owr files can be opened directly in OrcaFlex (e.g. Unlike other hydrodynamic data files (e.g. owr extension, from which OrcaFlex can import the hydrodynamic data. OrcaWave outputs its results to a binary file with an.
