2.17 released - Changelog

Changelog for release 2.17

Solver

  • More precision in formulations for impermeable nets improving results
  • Change wind density 1.21 to 1.27
  • Possibility to place RAO to springs,
  • Adjustments to drift coefficients acc to current according to Faltinsen pp 146
  • Possibility to have dynamic wind to several membrane elements.
  • Possibility to have larger horizontal wave velocity under wave crest than prescribed by linear wave theory.
  • More refined in and out of water handling for classic nets.
  • Formulation for slamming to beams slightly improved
  • Possibility for surface suction applicable for membranes laid out on water surface .
  • Possibility for wave reduction to beams with hydrodynamic loads
  • Some format changes to parameters written to output files
  • Code optimalization for vectorization to achieve higher analysis velocity
  • Some code reformulations to increase analysis timer for irregular waves.
  • Some small adjustments to rollers
