OrcaFlex
OrcaFlex supports dynamic analysis of offshore systems including lines, risers, cables and floating structures.
On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.
Workflow ideas
Build a mooring system
Start from the vessel geometry, loading basis and selected design condition. In the intended OrcaFlex preview, build a mooring system; the visible result is a hull or system model with principal dimensions and compartments visible. Review coordinate system, displacement, openings and watertight intent before accepting or exporting it.
Configure environmental cases
Begin with the environmental case, analysis settings and operating assumptions. In the intended OrcaFlex preview, configure environmental cases; the visible result is hydrostatic, hydrodynamic or structural results tied to the vessel state. Review criteria, headings, periods, load transfer and solver validity before accepting or exporting it.
Review dynamic response
Use the compared design cases and reporting template. In the intended OrcaFlex preview, review dynamic response; the visible result is a traceable performance, production or stability package. Review margins, units, condition identity and naval-architecture judgement before accepting or exporting it.
