Hi,
For a student project related to the 'Radiation-Diffraction' analysis of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) foundation, I need some help with Ansys AQWA. I am working with a semi-submersible foundation that has three vertical columns (12 m dia) which are interconnected by bracings (0.5 m dia), and at the bottom of each column there are heaving plates. My question is:
  1. How to model bracings as Morison element in Ansys Design Modeler (DM)/Ansys AQWA?
  2. How to define heaving plates as 'Disk element'?
  3. How to produce a mapped panel mesh from (surface) geometry in Ansys AQWA?
Kind regards,
MDTI
