Hi,

I do the hydrodynamic pressure in three modular floating structures in ansys aqwa. I want to link the hydrodynamic pressure from ansys aqwa to ansys static.

May I ask if in ansys static can only apply one hydrodynamic pressure for one module floating structure?

It cannot be added another hydrodynamic pressure for another module?

 Because the hydrodynamic pressure detects only one module and can not add another hydrodynamic pressure for another two modules.

thankyou

Hi,

 

Can you try exporting the pressure data and applying the same as Tabular data in Static analysis?

Hello,

In a Static Structural analysis the Hydrodynamic Pressure object can only map pressures from one structure in the hydrodynamic model.

If the hydrodynamic model contains many structures, then Direct mapping must be used. You can select faces from multiple structures in the structural model, but the mapped pressure values can only be derived from one structure in the hydrodynamic model.

If you have separate modules in the hydrodynamic model, and you are mapping on to separate modules in the structural model, then I suggest you carry out a separate Static Structural analysis for each module.

I hope this helps.
