Hi, people!
I need to model a hemisphere and it's motion is only allowed in heave direction. How can i retain the degrees of freedom of the body for futher analysis on Motions?
Thanks!
Hi Monique,
What software product are you working with?
Georgina Maldonado
Maxsurf motions, i need to perform a seakeeping analysis
Are you attempting to use Strip Theory or Panel Method in MAXSURF motions?
For strip theory, you will be outside of the "slender body" definition because your L/B is 1.
For panel method, we don't have a way to constrain a certain degree of freedom, however you could look into applying a very high mooring stiffness in the remaining 5 degrees of freedom.
Are you a student? If you are a student, you might be better off using MOSES which has far more powerful
Regards,
James
