Key features
- Hydrostatics and stability calculations
- Linear and non linear hydrodynamics
Benefits
- Handling of multiple loading conditions and models through one user interface and database
- Sharing models with structural analysis
- Direct transfer of static and dynamic loads to structural model

Trang 26Structural design of drill ship
Panel model
Trang 27Panel model guidelines
Mesh size
- In general depending on wave length (length < L/5)
- At least 30-40 panels along the ship length
- Wave period = 4s wave length = 25m panel length = 5m
- Mesh size finer
- Towards still water level
- Towards large transitions in shape
- Not too coarse in curved areas, in order to compute correct volume
If shallow water
- Use ½ or even ¼ panel length Test convergence!

Verification of still water loads
The mass and buoyancy forces may be verified by computing the still water forces and moments
- HydroD stability analysis (requires a license extension for stability)
When the environment, models and loading conditions are defined, a stability
analysis may be run

Trang 35Environment
Trang 36Structural design of drill ship
Wave headings
Typically 15-30 degrees interval
Head sea = 180 degrees
Short crested sea requires main headings ±90 degrees
- Transit 0-360 degrees
- Operation and survival 180 ± 120 degrees (120=30+90)
Trang 37Wave frequencies
Define 25-30 periods, say from 4 – 40 s
Ensure good representation of relevant responses, including peak values
Trang 38Structural design of drill ship
Roll damping
Trang 39About roll damping
Roll damping is non-linear and must be linearized for a frequency domain analysis
Linearization according to probability level of design value
- 20 years for transit
- 100 years for survival
- 10 -4 for fatigue
Long and short term statistics sensitive to roll if eigenperiod if there is significant wave energy in the range of the eigen period
0,00 2,00 4,00 6,00 8,00 10,00 12,00
No damp
5 %
10 %
Trang 40Structural design of drill ship
Roll damping options
Use an external damping matrix
- General or critical
Use the roll damping model in Wadam
- Requires an iteration since maximum roll angle is a parameter
- If maximum roll angle is from short term statistics, automatic iteration can be performed
- If maximum roll angle is from long term statistics, manual iterations must be performed
Use the quadratic roll-damping coefficient
- Typically obtained from model tests
- Requires short term stochastic iteration
Use Morison elements
- Tune drag coefficient to obtain correct damping
Only option 4 allows for load transfer of the roll-damping force

- Reads the global analysis results file
- Compares the two models and fetches displacements
from global analysis
