We invite you to attend our webinar on closed flexible structures online at
For the upcoming release 2.22 we have done further work to stabilize these highly complex analysis. We will show the functionality currently in AquaSim including changes to improve user interface and analyses. Best practices when working with closed, flexible structures, and examples of structures in this webinar.
Sign up for the webinar at our Microsoft Teams page or at our YouTube channel.
The seminar will cover the following tutorials, which will be made available after the event:
Tarpaulin closed compartment
Introduction to the static equilibrium of closed systems, including internal water height, tarpaulin elasticity, and floater buoyancy. The tutorial also considers fresh water inside and brackish water outside.
Modelling internal water mass in Tarpaulin closed compartment
Introduction to added mass effects from internal water for dynamic analyses.
Modelling currents on lice skirts
Introduction to drag parameters and current loads on lice skirts.
Modelling waves on lice skirt
Introduction to wave loads and flexible tarpaulin parameters for lice skirts.
Added mass and damping in closed compartments
Introduction to hydrodynamic panel method analysis, added mass, and hydrodynamic damping.
Wave diffraction on closed compartments
Numerical calculation of diffraction loads and the MacCamy–Fuchs formulation.
