• Dynamic Analysis – time simulation of
the motions of the model over a speci-
fied period of time, starting from the po-
sition derived by the static analysis.
• The simulation proceeds in a number of
stages each of a given duration.
• Before the main simulation stages,
there is a build-up stages
Dynamics
Dynamics
Build-up
•Wave & vessel motions are smoothly ramped up from zero to their full size.
•Make simulation gentle start and reduce the transients (generated by the change from the static to dynamic motion)
Main simulation stage-1, 2, …
•The start of the simulation time origin•The simulation time origin is at the end of the build-up stage
•Each wave train has its own time origin.•All of these time origins are defined rela-tive to the global time origin

• Flat seabed • Profiled seabed • 3D seabed
Example of profiled seabed
Normal seabed stiffness the constant of proportionality of the spring force in the seabed outward normal direc-tion, equals the spring reac-tion force
Shear seabed stiff-nessused by the friction calcula-tion. A value of ‘~’ results in the normal seabed stiffness being used.

Seabed Dampingthe constant of proportionality of the damping force, and is a percentage of critical dampingAlways “0” when using the implicit integration scheme
