Some of the vessel type data apply to all draughts, but a lot of the data are draught-dependent and so separate data are defined for each defined draught. It is not possible to use different draughts at different times during the same simulation. Each vessel in the model must specify (on the vessel data form) which draught to use. Vessel type data Draughtįor each vessel type you can enter data for multiple draughts, each draught having a user-specified name. Such a file can then act as a library of vessel types which can be imported into other OrcaFlex data files. For example you can set up a data file that defines a number of vessel types but contains no actual vessels. You do not have to use all, or even any, of the vessel types you define. By sharing the data common to both vessels in this way, we avoid a great deal of data duplication. On the other hand the two tugs differ in their positions and any prescribed motion, so these are properties of the individual vessel objects. The RAOs, for example, are data of the 'Tug' vessel type, since they apply to both tugs. This may be modelled by creating a vessel type called 'Tug' and then creating two vessels, each of type 'Tug'. Consider, for example, a pipe being towed by two identical tugs. You can define a number of different vessel types, each type having a different name and one of which is then chosen on the vessel data form to specify the type of that particular vessel.ĭifferent vessels can have the same type. It does not store any personal data.Each vessel has a vessel type: the vessel type determines much of the vessel data, and defines them on the vessel types form.
