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,
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
Maxsurf motions, i need to perform a seakeeping analysis
What software product are you working with?
