Total Capability for All Hydrodynamic Applications
ANSYS AQWA is not just for moorings or diffraction/radiation. It is a general-purpose hydrodynamics analysis tool that provides enormous flexibility to address most types of problems. Examples of its use include:
- Design and analysis of mooring systems, including intermediate buoys and clump weights
- Motions analysis of FPSOs
- Determination of air gaps
- Calculation of shielding effects of ships and barriers
- Multiple body interactions during LNG transfer
- Coupled cable dynamics
- Sectional force calculations
- TLP tether analysis
- Dropped object trajectory calculations
- Concept design and analysis of wave and wind energy systems
- Simulation of lifting operations between floating vessels
- Discharging landing craft from mother ships
- Transportation of large offshore structures using barges/ships
- Float over analyses
- Motion analysis of spar vessels
