1. Potential flow library specification

This functionality is currently under testing.

This data group is optional. Only one potential flow library may be specified.

For cross-sections with POTN loading, this file provides the frequency-dependent radiation and diffraction data. If cross-sections with POTN loading are used in the analysis, this input is required (checked in stamod).

1.1. Data group identifier, one input line

POTEntial FLOW LIBRary

1.2. File name specification, one input line

FILE_NAME
  • FILE_NAME: character(256): Path to the potential flow library

1.3. Connection between FE-elements and data in the pontential flow library

Number of elements with POTN loading, one input line

Note that the number of elements with POTN loading and wich are located below sea level has to be equal to the number of sections in the potential flow library!

NOPOTELEM
  • NOPOTELEM: integer: Number of elements with POTN loading

Connections between elements and sections in the potential flow library, NOPOTELEM input lines

Note that the sequence of element specifications has to coincide with the sequence of sections in the library.

LINE-ID ISEG IEL
  • LINE-ID: character(8): Line identifier

  • ISEG: integer: Local segment number within the line LINE-ID

  • IEL: integer: Local element number within the segment ISEG
