Hello,
I'm studying a long, flexible structure, in stillwater.
From my understanding, moses computes bending moment assuming a rigid body (i.e. not accounting the body immersion variations influence on bending moment).
Here attached a sample case demonstrating a simplified configuration: I tried to compare the moses bending moment results (that match exactly an independent result, not considering the flexibility).
moment_flexible.zip
If I consider the flexibility, as expected, the bending moment distributions reduces significantly (green line). Is there a way to consider this effect also in MOSES?
Thanks in advance,
Doug
