Hi, I'm student and I'm designing a floating dry dock. Is Moses able to count the weight of the vessel in conjunction with the weight of the dock during ballast/deballast or float-on/float-off operations? For example, during de-ballasting, when the dock starts to emerge and touches the vessel. Will the vessel's weight be gradually "added" to the docks weight as the dock rises? Is it possible to make the models of the vessel and the dock interact in this way?
Hi Hugo,
Please see the float_off files at the following directory on your machine. You proabably have a different version of MOSES. Please accommodate for that when you search for the files on your machine.
C:\Program Files\Bentley\Engineering\MOSES CONNECT Edition V12\hdesk\runs\samples\install
This set of files show a float-off operation. You can switch the barge model for your dry dock model. You can switch the cargo for the vessel. Of course you have to change the connector locations and properties.
