&lt;p&gt;I am trying to model a mooring system for a barge. There are two sets of mooring lines. Primary mooring line (1 line) run parallel the length of the barge and the ends are connected to ground anchors. Secondary mooring lines (10 lines) are running perpendicular to the primary mooring line with one end connected to the primary line at equally spaced interval and the other end connected to the barge.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would request if someone can help me to understand how to model the 10 connection points between the primary line and the 10 secondary lines. As these points will be not be fixed and will change their position with the motion/ movement of the barge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Moses Time Domain Simulation</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/offshore/f/maxsurf-moses-sacs-forum/128221/moses-time-domain-simulation</link><pubDate>Wed, 09 Nov 2016 05:52:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:f816ba07-1e7c-4823-b970-ffe48cd5e927</guid><dc:creator>Sid</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi All,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am trying to perform a time domain simulation on Moses on a ship shaped vessel. However, I notice that the model is not stationery (&lt;em&gt;Please note: I have not defined any current or wind&lt;/em&gt;) in simulation. In fact, in some cases the model flies off from the water surface and flips.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What are you possible reasons for such behavior? Can some one please elaborate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What is the most efficient way to define hull tanks in Moses. I have a ship shaped hull defined using vertices and panels. I need to create internal tanks that fit inside the hull shape. Just like in Maxsurf, the tanks are trimmed to fit the hull surface, is there a way to do the same in Moses?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>AirGap Calculation in Moses</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/offshore/f/maxsurf-moses-sacs-forum/126416/airgap-calculation-in-moses</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 Sep 2016 08:46:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:2aa37d5e-f8ab-424f-b4de-25e41f08ff56</guid><dc:creator>Sid</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can anyone explain to me how to calculate the minimum air-gap needed for a catamaran vessel. I am working on a catamaran vessel that will be classed for unrestricted service. I have developed the model in Moses and now I want to calculate the minimum air-gap needed so that the waves do not hit the deck.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please explain how to estimate the air-gap from Moses hydrodynamic analysis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance,&lt;/p&gt;

I am analyzing a Jack Up Rig with a single column for wet tow. During wet tow, the jack-up will be floating on its hull and the column will be above water.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The procedure I have adopted is as follows:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Perform a wave dynamic analysis in SACS Motions module to calculate the response of the structure.&amp;nbsp;The cargo for the analysis is the column and the vessel is the hull of my jack-up. I have already designed the hull in maxsurf and placed the file in (both .msd and .hmd) inside the SACS vessel library.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Use the response file as an input to SACS Tow module to run tow analysis in order to check the strength of the column.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Perform linear static analysis with the generated static loads in tow analysis with other loads.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Problem:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every time I run the motion analysis, it gives an error stating &amp;quot;VESSEL ID NOT FOUND IN THE LIBRARY&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please let me know if my procedure is correct and also how do I resolve the above issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Moses motion analysis</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/offshore/f/maxsurf-moses-sacs-forum/114770/moses-motion-analysis</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 Jan 2016 08:05:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:79a5330d-05e5-450c-adc7-bb407f562da7</guid><dc:creator>Sid</dc:creator><description>&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;I want to study the motions (in Moses) of a long and hollow box standing vertically on the seabed. The box extends throughout the water depth and has a small portion extending above the water surface. The base of the box is heavy and is simply resting on the seabed. As this body is in contact with seabed (not floating), the weight of the box is larger than its buoyancy. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want to know,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is it possible to analyse this structure for wave motions in Moses?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I am not sure how to model the base to seabed contact such that the motions can be generated. I feel that a pin connection can represent the connection between the base and the seabed. Moses has a range of connectors. Is there a way to solve this problem?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
