Dear,<\/p>\n
Let me start by saying I’m new to Ansys. Nevertheless, I am eager to learn this software. I am opening this thread to see if the methodology I want to use is feasible or if there are better ways to simulate it. My research is maybe a bit hard since I am new to Ansys, but I do have quite some time to perform my research so I like to see how far I can come. <\/p>\n
Very briefly the problem, a subsea cable that enters a wind turbine first travels some distance through the water before it enters the monopile. To protect this part a Cable Protection System (CPS) is used. I want to research if the bolts of such systems, which are used to connect the half shells that go around the cable, are capable of handling the irregular wave loadings and the current. And see if, when and where fatigue failure occurs at these bolts. <\/p>\n
My plan is to make a global model of such a CPS and apply MetOcean data by using Ansys Aqua to see where and how big the forces and moments are that the CPS experiences. With these loadings, I like to make a more detailed model with the bolt inside to see when it fails. I have taken an in-depth look at how to analyze fatigue failure using Ansys. So for now the question is more regarding obtaining results from the global model and how to implement a detailed model smartly.<\/p>\n
Few questions that I have for now:<\/p>\n
How suitable is Ansys Aqwa for fully submerged systems? Or is Ansys Fluid a better?<\/p>\n
Is it better to implement the detailed part into my global model or keep it separated for computational time?<\/p>\n
How feasible is it due to computational time to run several MetOcean data?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I do realise my question is quite vague and my plan is not well fully thought through, but I hope it can help me to see if I am on the right track to perform such a problem. Thanks in advance<\/p>\n
