AQWA is a suite of integrated modules which addresses the vast majority of analysis requirements associated with the hydrodynamic assessment of all types of offshore/marine structure from spars to FPSOs, from mooring systems to buoys, from TLPs to semi-submersibles, from fishing vessels to large ships and from large ships to structure interaction.

Two packages are available. ANSYS AQWA Diffraction provides an integrated facility for developing the primary hydrodynamic parameters required for undertaking complex motions and response analysis. ANSYS AQWA Suite extends ANSYS AQWA Diffraction to include analysis modules for frequency and time domain with random waves (incl. slow drift), nonlinear time domain with larges waves, as well as static and dynamic stability including mooring lines. Model creation can be performed either in the Graphical Supervisor module of AQWA or via ANSYS®. Hydrodynamic analysis results (i.e., motions and pressures) can be transferred to ANSYS, ASAS or Nastran for subsequent structural analysis.
