5.2.2.1. Stability/Time Response Specific Options

 

The Tube Drag Coefficients and Scale Factor for Model Test Simulation options apply to all Morison (TUBE and STUB) elements within your Geometry. These options affect only Stability and Time Response analyses; they are not used in Hydrodynamic Diffraction or Frequency Statistical analyses. 

 

I have a question. Does AQWA consider morison elements (more specifically, a freely suspended pipe from the floating structure) in its diffraction analysis?. How the two structural motions are coupled
