Single or double amplitude motions/acceleration results


Q: Does MOSES report single or double amplitude motions/accel results?
REV 7.02

A: MOSES never uses "double amplitude". The RAOs are titles as motion amplitude/wave amplitude; so if you multiply an RAO by a wave amplitude, you get the motion amplitude. When MOSES does statistics, again this a motion, not a "double amplitude". If the output says 20 degrees, you will get 20 degrees one way and -20 degrees the other. The same is done for structural integrity. The results are checked for the mean + the amplitude and mean - amplitude.
