Examples created for SIMA 4.6

Case Description Tags

User defined element

This example shows to user a user-defined element to create a flat bottom. Fortran code for the user-defined element may be found in template_code/earth_example.f90 and the compiled code in earth_example.dll. NOTE: The interface code in Fortran 90 included in the storage task template_code/earth_interface.f90

TTR, Time domain VIV (Cross flow load)

This example shows how to include the effect of VIV due to current and waves in a time domain simulation. A simple TTR model is included together with workflows and a small custom editor to run the analysis and view results. Only cross-flow VIV loads are applied as the in-line loads are still restricted to the JIP participants.

Calculate relative distance between points

This example shows how to use a workflow to calculate the relative distance between two points. This approach can be extended to find the relative distance between two bodies.

FOWT, Time domain VIV (Cross flow load)

This example shows how to include the effect of VIV due to wave & current in a time domain simulation. A FOWT is modelled including workflows and a small custom editor to run the analysis and view results. NOTE: The purpose of this model is to illustrate the effect of VIV loads. A check has been performed to ensure that the hydrodynamic coefficients are reasonable. This example was collaboratively created with the assistance of DNV. Only cross-flow VIV loads are applied as the in-line loads are still restricted to the JIP participants.
