Hi,
I have confusion regarding how to model barge if barge partially grounded.
In this case, barge moored near shore. During low tide, partial part of barge grounded. Since the another part of barge still in water we can expect environmental load (from wave and current) still affect the barge.
How to model for this particular condition? and from there start doing the mooring analysis.
Here attached the sketch of that condition.
Thanks

Hi Nufuat,
Thank you for trying MOSES.
You can add the spring there as Rahul said above or you can model a physical boundary representing seabed using "gspr" element. You can also apply the contact stiffness and the friction to that boundary.
Best regards,
Bitna
