Static and dynamic comparisonsĪ comparison with published results from a paper published at OMAE 2005.
#FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS WITH ORCAFLEX CODE#
OrcaFlex to a code written as part of the author’s PhD study. Wave dynamics and irregular wave dynamics.Ī comparison with published results from a paper published at OMAE 2006. We also publish a number of more detailed validation cases: 99/101Ī comparison with Flexcom for a typical deepwater SCR. We recommend that you read this document first. The document also presents some comparisons of OrcaFlex with both real world data and other programs.
